tested and verified, it is absolutely possible to lock yourself in. all you need are 11 systems, and the wp openers to do it. you could then build up those worlds to the max with all kinds of crazy sphereworlds and construction bases. then you could desingnate a bastion sector where you could build all kinds of crazy defense bases, and open one warp point out from there, taking one system at a time and adding it into the mesh.

but, this would take far more time than is practical, and if anyone isolates them selves in a multiplayer game, i would probably call the game over, as the other player could take the opportunity to do the same thing.
