Your WP defence: Mines, satellites or bases?

[capnq]

Artaud said: How do warp openers work? Can you pick the system where you want the other end to appear?

Yes, you can pick any system within the component's range. The only thing you can't control is where in the target system the warp point opens, but even that is predictable depending on the relative positions of the two systems.

At most ten warp points can be opened to or from the same system, and a System Gravitational Shield Facility will prevent them from opening in its system (requires Shields 10).

Who out there uses resource bases? Resource satellites?

I use both so rarely that I'll occaisionally forget that I have the option to use them.
