What I want to see is LOCAL Resources ... not empire wide resources.

Be nice if there could be an option, or if this were to be a standard part of the game, to switch the game to use local resources than empire wide.

For example, say you have 100k worth of minerals available to your empire which comprises two systems. One system has 40k and the other 60k. I'd like to see the systems be able to share the resources between the two systems IF their respective warp points between the two are friendly controlled (includes all allies and trade alliance income as well) and the warp points are not blocked by an enemy. Otherwise, each system would have to use 40k and the other 60k.

This is kinda similar to how a fleet blockades an enemy planet. But unlike a planet, the system blockaded would be on their own able to produce units ships and facilities only using the local resources of that system.

This would change games where you have a distant colonized system or trade alliance with another empire that is seperated from you by an enemy empire or enemy fleet blocking a warp point between the two. I'd really like to see this. I think the three resources could be set up this way, but intelligence and research may just have to be empire wide. I dont see how they could be local...
