Before I start my question, a possible answer to the previous query, is that the other race at war with you may have the energy or power draining specialty? No? Anyhow....Any one know if plunking Lane Blockers into Starlanes are stackable? Also how big a territory of Solar Systems can one control while still being at peace with everyone? I am in control of over 30 stars, but at the edge of my territory, 9 Baffilid & Afro ships (medium size) burst through into my colonized Flammifer System. I immediatedly 'plunked' a whole bunch of Lane blockers from several ships into the Starlane joining my other territory, but the next turn, they just seem to have busted through and on their way to Bosphorus. Are Lane blockers useless? What Gives ?!?! It would have been neat if Logic Factory created Mines (as in MoO2)...this way one could create a deadly defensive necklace around each Solar System or even planet. -Thnx
