Evil Idea

Open a whole bunch of warp points from the center of a blackhole...

------------------
Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Then the enemy human says "a-ha I'll surprise him by counter-attacking his territiory through that wormhole!"

*crunch*

Too bad it won't work.

The hole won't do damage until the end of your turn, so he could warp in, see the hole, and then leave in any direction.

I have personally had an LC fly right over the singularity with no ill effects.

Of course, laying mines & then opening the warp point would provide a similar effect

Curses! Foiled again!

It could work against ships that have to explore that section of space in a Sim game.
i'll have to try it.

When you are near your enemies home system, open up a warp point from the center of a nearby black hole, back to your own space. That way you can defend your side of the warp point. But he can't defend his side.

That's a great Idea, as long as he dosen't decide to close the warppoint, (since you've all got SM tech)

Course, you could hide a Heavily cloaked WP opener ship in there to reopen whenever you want.

Does closing a WP take up movement? what if you opened 10 warp points to the same place?
