I find it quite annoying always having to pursue the AI as they go right past my huge fleet into my territory.

Even though my fleet could have wiped them clean, they get by to basically do a suicide run.

Phase Jump Inhibitors are OK, but at least some equivalent is needed for gravity wells without planets.

It would be nicer if there were a better way to blockade a phase lane with just ships.

Ideas:
1. Make ships vulnerable while attempting a phase jump (e.g. Shields go down) and slightly increase the setup time for a jump.
2. Make ships unable to jump when under attack. (Warp field gets disrupted, hehe)
3. Make some sort of inhibitor ship that will disrupt a limited number of enemy ships from phase jumpiming
4. Make some sort of starbase that is buildable in gravity wells without planets that can provide some logistics points to build a phase inhibitor

Anyway that was the most annoying 'feature' of the game.

I still love it!
