		Andy, defending wormholes is probably the best defense 
 
And again I would make the point that if you are playing ANY Version of the AI, I would consider it unsporting to use mass warp point defence against them, same reason I wouldn't use fighters or mines - it makes it far too easy 
 
Now against humans, anything goes 
 
Now, just to prove that I have no friends whatsoever (my excuse is that I find it hard to find opponents of my calibre!!) - I currently have a game going where I am playing 2 empires.  The game is based in a meld of the Starfire/Startrek universes and I have renamed stacks of components to provide a more Starfire feel.  The point of this is purely for me to fight two different play styles at once and Andy, I reccomend you give this a go as I have found it very useful for finetuning my designs 
 
Eg one empire is the Solar Federation,a human empire who build a combined arms fleet with a broadly equal match between missile armed and beam armed vessels - 
 
the other empire is the Khanate of Orion, these boys build weird designs and every vessel has fighters  
 
the punch ups have an interesting flavour to them
