on blockades
I have a planet behind enemy lines(intel project).
It cannot build anything? Then I clear a path to the planet but can't take out the sats that are guarding the glass balls left behind.
Still can build anything?
A planet is only blockaded if it has enemy ships orbiting it. I don't think enemy units alone can blockade; I know drones can't, because I've tried that.
The blockaded planet can still build things, unless the blockade has caused the population to riot. The blockade just stops the planet's production from being added to the empire's total (similar to not having a spaceport in the system).
I think blockading a homeworld has a much larger effect, but I don't remember the details offhand.
