Yes, as long as it is accessable by means of a warp opener.
But I feel you cannot do this to alot of your systems as that would be abusing this ability.

Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
My opinion is, that you can isolate all your systems if you want, but then you have to leave them without system shield. They are easy to access, though you have to open warp points on them. I would not do like this, but if someone wants to do it, IMO it is his/hers choise to do so.

I was thinking if you did that to every system you could in effect buy yourself alot of time and truely get as close to a full turtle as you coule without actually doing it.
But Karibu's comment below states how it would really be. It would be a pain to open a WP to every system but as long as you can get to every system then all is fine.
Therefore this is allowable as long as System Shields are not installed.

Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
I would not say it would be pain to open a warp point. But it would be pain to defend such system, for you never know where the warp point is actually opening within the system.

Yeah, I can't wait for the 1000 vs 1000 ship battles. I wonder what happens when the combat map runs out of space? Of course the map only needs to be 200x200 to fit 40000 ships.
