War points and black holes

[Suicide Junkie]

DT: Maybe it works in V1.3, but I'm sure the AI will really be screwed if it does work.

Imagine a player putting a three-sector deep damaging storms arount the warp point. The AI will just throw ships at it in vain!

Wormhole Manipulators (Stellar Manipulation) is one of the most important things to research quickly

That would be reasonable against humans, but the AI just can't handle SM, so it really is unfair. I just don't research it until I want Dyson Spheres.
I suppose a three-turn-then-scrap/mothball use SM ship could be useful, but you still have a lot of research to divert.

Speaking of warp points, does anyone else use the "Warp Points occur anywhere in system" setting? I've really grown to like it, even though sometimes I end up with warp points right next to homeworlds (good for moving exploration ships out, bad for defending against AI).
