Default Re: System Gravitational Shield Facility

really, the only way i could conceive it working is by sealing off all your systems, and then having a designated system as your launchpad. you would then force any one attacking to go through that system, assuming of course they could guess where you popped out next.

the only thing that's considered turtlelish about this is that if everyone does it, the game effectively ends in a stalemate. perhaps i should remove this tactic from the forums so others dont think of it.

man, i love comming up with tactics in SEIV. this game is ripe pickings for 'em

Such turtling is highly frowned upon when used excessively in PBW games.

that why you kill 'em before they turtle.

to be fair, most game masters should require a rule that one warp point be accessible at all times into your empire.
