Default Re: Warp point question

I'm trying to figure that out myself..no luck so far.

You CAN make a One-Way warpoint by just not making a connection back..

EDIT: for that matter if you really wanted to you could make a warp point that dumps out inside a star.

Thank you again Phoenix-D for your quick reply.
One more of the mysteries of Starfury and I am a terrible curious person.
I will try your advice to create the one way warp points.

One other thing I realized in my very limited modding experiments is that Starfury is far less error tolerant than SE IV. I had a black screen after the initial campaign creation without any usable error message: access violation of starfury at adress ......). What turned out to be the cause: in the maindisplay.txt file I had two lines of "paragraph 1" instead of "paragraph 1" and "paragraph 2".
Never would have guessed that the display textfile could create such serious malfunctions of the game.

Starfury is picky, yes. What helps is running in windowed mode- that lets you see the error messages easier.
