the way i read that = you must be able to fly to any system

thats it

IE, if you make a guantlet of warp points and a single 'string' path to get to your deepest systems, so be it
all the hub-bub about 10 warp points and grav shields has nothing to do with my simple post - which most accurately describes the no turtle rule

Yeah, that post sums it up pretty well.

If your strategy for RTH2 is to confuse me, then you are doing great so far

I think just for clearifications sake I will add this.

I don't think it was defined as well as it could have been in this regard. Cirvol mentions having a way to get from system to system no matter what. This is true, and it is required.

I think it is understood, but as I said, just to make things clearer.
You cannot close off a single system and leave the rest open, this would be considered turtelling. If I, or someone else, were to come into a players cluster we must be able to get to all of his warp points by means of a warp point system.

Why would we do that?

In RTH1 I had I think 4 warp open/closers. Then I had whole slu (10 or so, IIRC) planet creators. This was since we used FQM there were at least 15 asteroid fields in each system!

Will the game break if I try to convert one of the "invisible" asteroid fields into a planet?
