Fixed Wormholes

March 10, 2003 5:33 PM from

I am sure this has been suggested and discussed, but is there any chance of implementing controlled wormholes? Maybe a new anomoly in galaxies that once explored can be turned into a "Star Gate" that will instantly transport units to another point, a fixed point somewhere far away. Perhaps after Controlled 4D wormholes or somehting, constructors could be used to create these gates. This would be cool late in the game on large maps as an added challenge to control these gates, only allow passage to certain races, and use them for quick travel (also good for mop up time). I realize there would be technical challenges to this, but is it realistic for implementation, or maybe for Galciv 2?

Maybe you could build a starbase on one end, then have to build a special module to "anchor" your end for travel.

It has been discussed during beta. The decision at the time was that it won't be in the initial release due to the amount of AI programming required to ensure that the AI both realises their importance and also uses them effectively. Possibly something that could be added for a later update.
