Space Empires 2 and warp point defense

I did that once, traded with the neutrals so I could get it fast. It worked remarkably well. Half a dozen battlestations and starbases. Some fighter platforms, null space cannons, massive mount ripper beams. Really kept the Pyrochette at bay for a good long time. Built myself a nice little empire.

Nice, quiet, safe little womb -- rhymes with tomb. The Pyrochette lost fleet after fleet at my choke points -- while they sliced up the rest of the galaxy. They may have been the first TDM modpack race to use Stellar manipulation, cause there were NO PLANETS that weren't theirs -- just asteroids. When everyone else was dead, they broke my defences.

Coulda made that a shorter post -- walling yourself in is ultimately self defeating against the AI. And probably just plain dumb vs humans.
