How do blockades work?
Got a question...
Last nite I was playing a game, and attacked the Ork Clans' homeworld. There were two planets in that sector. I eliminated the population on one, but not totally on the other. They had no ships or anything, just population left. After the battle, it said that I was blockading the planet. I have not seen this before, what exactly is happening. Now, I know what a blockade is, but what i am asking, is what is happening in game terms?
Thanks

Re: How do blockades work?
In game terms, a blockade prevents any resources and/or research/intelligence points from being collected by the empire. If you are also blockading a planet with the only spaceport in the system - than no resources etc. will be added the empires pool.

Correct.

Incorrect. It only affects resources generated on the planet actually blockaded from getting to the empire.

Note - The Build Queue of the blockaded planet is still available to build Units, Ships & Facilities.

Re: How do blockades work?
Also, the population of the blockaded planet will grow angry and will soon riot, halting all production.
This happens whenever enemy ships are in the system, but it is faster when a planet is blockaded. I don't know if the value is in the data files, but it seems to work that way for me.

Re: How do blockades work?
how quickly are we looking at a riot?
and lets say its been blockaded for 40 turns and then i capture it, will the people ever become happy again?
