Things we'd like to see in the next patch

Okay, so no responses to that yet...

Here's what I want for warp point types, five different abilities to add to abilities.txt:
Edit: and by the way, none of these are my original ideas, they've all come from other people at this site

1) ability open warp point
- opens a normal warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : 0

2) ability open periodic warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : # of turns it appears open then # of turns it appears closed

3) ability open delayed warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : turns it takes a ship to get through to other side.

4) ability open "single use" warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : # of ships that can pass through before it closes.

5) ability open sieving warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : largest ship size that can pass through in kT. Larger ships just excluded, not damaged.

Edit: 6) ability open vampire warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : number of resources used per ship that travels through the warp point.
Okay, this one's mine

The number of uses of these abilities are almost limitless - especially if we were able to have more than one ability to each warp point -- can we have multi ability warp points though??
