Change Rules for Blockades

tmcc said: One simple way to implement this would be to create a "% to blockade number" based on the criteria you list and then making a roll against that number every turn.

I really like that idea. You could even combine the two ideas, in a way, by only letting a little resources through if you barely beat the roll, while letting a lot through if you beat the roll by a lot. The parameters could be moddable to suit everyone's taste.

tmcc said: I think another key attribute of the blockader should be speed.

Great point. Agreed. That would also make it worthwhile to send a warship/fleet on a suicide mission to weaken a blockade by hoping to take out some engines.
