I do not know if this component already exsisits or not, but if it does not, can it be added to an up coming patch.

Simply put, a component that can be built on a planet that prevents warp points from opening within that planets system. Much like the components that prevent the destruction of stars and planets. Thanks.

Sounds like an interesting idea to me!

I don't think so. Anyone with this facility (components don't go on planets will practically be invincible. Put one in every system they own, then be sure to let out a nice big fleet before closing all warp points to the outside.

It would be hard enough for a human to try to beat that, but the AI will have even less of a chance.

Thanks Will, yes in deed I screwed up, I mean Facilities. Ooops, its a late day, and I just got done teaching an SPC class.

Anywhoo, the cost of the facility could be enourmous thus limiting its use. Other concepts could be incorperated into it as well, make it a research costly, high maintenance, and require say 3 per system to get the full protection aspect of the facilities. (Each produces a percentage of protection points, and when that percentage reaches 100%, it protects the system 100%.)

I think this facility idea is a great one, and I would appreciate more input on it. Pro's and Con's. Thanks.

Atrocities,

Somebody else posted this a while back, but I think it should still work. You can isolate your system by opening ten warp points between it and a nearby system. Apparently there is a hard coded limit of 10 warp pointas per system. This would prevent any points being opened into either system.

This is a great idea.
Maybe make the facility a unique one only found in ruins and really expensive to build (like the planetary shield generator)
