Default Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!

damn, me again with missing a turn by 5 minutes...

i wish i could do these things faster when under a deadline --- its just too easy to loose track of time while trying to finish a few more 'touchups'

in anycase, on the off chance rags catches this before anyone plays their turn - i uploaded my 'old' turn to the pbw site, in case u feel upto reexecuting it with my turn included

otherwise, its cool, its my own fault again and i dont want you to feel i'm trying to cause this thing to screw up... it really is a good game, which is why i keep finding myself loosing hours planing stuff and loosing track of time and missing turns

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.

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.

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.
