Can't you close one side and then create another - say over a heavily fortified planet - that now re-connects the 2 systems? Then locking the warp points using the associated tech?

Yes. Yes you can. Unless someone else has locked one of the systems using the appropriate facility...

Arkcon says:

there is a facility that prevents warp point openings and closeings in a system.

What is it?

Arkcon also says:

you can't create a warp point that connects two systems when there already is a warp
point that connects the systems.

I would think a way around it would be to use the Gravitational Condensor to destroy the warp point and then use the Gravitational Quantum Resonator to open a new one.

But maybe the "unnamed" facility prevents the use of the Gravitational condensor?

I'm Away From The Computer With SE4. AFTCwSE4 should be a new acronym I'm gonna start using.

It's in the stellar manipulation tree. It's quite high up in the tree. It's called System Gravitation Shield. It takes a long time to build.

Nonetheless, it is very worthwhile against human players, as it protects agains star destroyers as well. The TDM modpak A.I.'s will build it as well.

Here is a list of the components one can get from Stellar Manipulation

Beta Displacement Pulser
Ionic Concussion Blaser
Monolith Facility I
Tectonic Bomb I
Matter Gravity Sphere I
Monolith Facility II
Gravitational Condenser
Gravitational Quantum Resonator I
Tectonic Bomb II
Matter Gravity Sphere II
Monolith Facility III
Gravitational Quantum Resonator II
Techtonic Bomb III
Matter Gravity Sphere III
Gravitational Quantum Resonator III
Stellar Plasma Sphere
Ring World Placement Generator
Planetary Gravity Plating
Hyper-Density Cables
Gravitational Quantum Resonator IV
Stellar Nucleonic Torpedo
Nebulae Graviton Emitter
Quantum Graviton Beam
Gravitational Quantum Resonator V
Nucleonic Thresher Torpedo
Inverted Quantum Beam
Sphere World Placement Center

I don't think the "unnamed" facility is one of these.

[tbontob]

Would the "unnamed" facility be "found" technology?

[oleg]

It is "System Gravitational Shield Facility"
and you need to research Shields, not Stellar Manipulation.

[Wardad]

I found it. The System Grav Shield facility is available at Shields level 10.
