Blockade, what does it affect?

"in any way"?

Fyron, do you really mean this? Or do you mean to limit it to the storage issue?

I too, believe it has no effect on the spaceport. Note that you do not need a spaceport to make a storage facility operative. In one game, I had a lone, tiny, domed planet with deadly conditions. I used it for storage with no problem... and no, I wasn't using Natural Merchants.

Yes, I really mean that.

Blockading has NO effect on storage faciliites or space ports.

If a planet with storage facilities is bloackaded, the empire still has full use of those storage facilities.

If a planet with a space port is blockaded, the empire still recieives the resources from the other planets in that system. The only thing the empire loses is the resource production from the planet actually blockaded.

EDIT: Fyron, sorry if I am repeating what you said already, but I read all the previous Posts a couple times and it wasn't clear to me. Just restating it for clarity.

Thank you Fyron & geoschmo

So, to restate what you have said, in another way:

1) A blockaded planet is prevented from contributing to the empires global pool of minerals, organics, radioactives, research points and intel points.

2) Otherwise, a blockaded planet will function normally except for:
a) its inability to contribute to the empires global pool and
b) the effect the blockading enemy ships will have on the blockaded planet's happiness.

Edit: And whether or not the planet has the only space port in the system is irrelevant.
