If I give orders to close a warp point this turn and my opponent gives orders to pass through that warp point from the other side, will his ships be able to get through and destroy me before I close the warp point? The newbie faq below says nothing about this, i.e.,:

9.5.6 Opening & Closing Warp Points

is blank.

Thank yous in advance!

I haven't tested this, but I would assume that it depends on turn based games or simultaneous games. I bet that in turn based games, whoever gets the order executed first wins, and in simultaneous games, I think that the player with the lower player number might win, although I believe that Stellar Manipulation is done before movement, so if that's true, the closer might always win regardless of player number.

Tell you what, this looks like a nice little research project that you could do and post the results here for incorporation to the next revision. You could contribute to the knowledge base of the community. You would get full credit and everything!
