Re: Cloaked Wormholes?
Some other things you could try are:
1) Sector damage ability. Not only discourages exploration, but will require players to research hullsizes and/or armor before they can explore very far.
2) Make many Warppoint lookalikes.
Changing the image of the wormhole to make it look like a storm could work until the player tries to warp through
3) Dummy warppoints If there are 25 storms in a system, and only 3 of them are actually warppoints, it will take players longer to figure out which is which.

Quick solution: "Explore" button.

Re: Cloaked Wormholes?
Another way to find them would be the two Empire Options that display the warp lines and the names of the systems the warp points lead to.

That works after you have already gone through the WP. It doesn't work before you have gone through a WP, cause it doesn't display the name of the target system.

Re: Cloaked Wormholes?
But you can see the beggiing of the warp line before exploring.

Re: Cloaked Wormholes?
SJ, How do you change the IMAGE of the Warp Points? When I create a map via the mapmaker I only get to choose between the different Warp Point Images.

But, you cannot see where the WP is in the system. That was my point. You know that there is a WP, but you don't know what sector it is in.
