Default Q. about not connecting warp points

I started a new game and decided NOT to have all warp points connected as someone suggested I try.

I found a system that only has 1 warp point. Can a warp point be made to this system or can I leave it relatively unprotected. The enemy would have to go thru 2 heavily protected systems to even get near this but there is a system north of it on the map but no warp point connecting it.

Unless it's a High Tech game, your opponents will need to do a lot of research and then construction to get warp point opening technology. Distance to other systems is also a factor. In general, it's probably a pretty safe system, for a long time, anyway.

I believe warp points can also be created by random events. I've certainly seen them destroyed in this way.

These are incredibly rare though - in two years of playing I've only seen it happen once.
