Great for refueling stops along the way thru many systems to the frontier, System Fleet Headquarters’ that has large ship facilities that include training, repair etc. Frontier WP defense rendezvous…

This is defiantly a great tool to have in the game
Exactly.
This is the main use for me... and then, I don't need to control every message like "the ship Xxxx has been built at Rove".

So why did you make this poll exactly?

So why didn't you say that to Narf's poll?

What does that have to do with anything?

You're asking what the point is on a poll with a point, but not on one without one.

Like JLS, I find them extremely useful for fleet assembly points. I usually have all my space yards set up to automatically send newly built ships to one of my waypoint planets, which usually has a resupply depot, a ship training facility, and a fleet training facility. It really saves a lot of time.

I usually have 2 waypoints, something along the lines of "Homeworld" and "Forward Military Base"... you can see I don't like to fight multi-front wars

But those are the most fun! Especially when you create new fronts in several point in enemy space at once with WP openers.
