PBW idea "Rules of Engagement",is there enough interest?

Ooh, Orion!

I was thinking of something similar a while back, but I couldn't figure out how to do the Orions... now is this the MOO3 era where the Orions (really Antarans) have a huge fleet or the MOO2 era where there is a lone Guardian and Antaran raiders occasionally pop out of hyperspace and glass your colonies?

Huge fleet, well; the Players will propably have bigger fleets, but not as advanced as the Orions.

But I'll have to finis another PBW game first before I can start this one.

All players can see where all star systems are located on the galaxy map, so these hidden systems won't exactly be hidden.

You could have several cut-off systems, though, with only one being the one with the Orions.

Also I think you can make one-way warp points using the map editor. You just can't create them during play.

hmm, wasn't there a way to stack systems in the map editor? Orion could be hidden 'under' any other system then.

Yeah, that would work. But, creating WPs there would be problematic, and it would look odd if a WP was created from the Orion system.

That was what I made in my map.
The Orion system was under another system.
Opening wormholes out from the Orion system was no problem in the short test game I ran, neither closing them off from the outside.
I was thinking of maybe having an two-way wormhole from the senate system to the Orion system. Well guarded by a planet on-top of the wormhole in the Senate system and disguised by a small storm.
