Default Re: IMPORTANT fixes, take 2

Regarding wormholes:
I wonder if it would be possible to change the program (hard code change) so that they are created gradually. First they'd be small and unstable, not letting big ships through at all and doing damage to ships that pass through. Then they'd get to small and stable, then medium and unstable, then medium and stable, and so on. Each increase would require use of an "OpenWarpPoint" component. Similarly, any decrease would require use of a "CloseWarpPoint" component. This would still allow for small-scale surprise attacks, but would make it very difficult to launch a full assault using one's biggest ships. (Because to do the latter you would need to use 6 "OpenWarpPoint" components in 1 turn.) Plus, it wouldn't be so easy to close the warp point that you just launched your attack through, thus making you vulnerable to a counter-attack.
