Stellar Manipulation

[Argh]

Well, I have a Q for y'all. . .

Why would you *not* constantly destroy suns, past midgame? How can it not be to your advantage to constantly deny your opponants room to grow, whilst using warp point tech. to prevent them from being able to enter your systems through any but the longest routes?

Anyhow, just a thought. . . I did this to the AI and it totally fell apart. . . it hit its max pop., couldn't get to me except through choke points, and my own warp points reached far behind the lines of the next opponent, until we reached the "edge" of the galaxy, whereupon I had a huge advantage in tech and gear. Is there any reason you more experienced players wouldn't do this?
