i remember readin in all the strategy guides and forum posts by ironclad and stardock that u must avoid having asteroids as choke points and frontline planets but when the maps are already set up so that 6 phaselanes travel through an asteroid field and only 2 phase lanes go through a planet, how can you avoid it????????? im jsut saying theyre telling us to do one thing but in the game its nearly imposible since asteroids also tend to be the first jumpoint from a star so yea liek it sux , stardock and ironclad need to fix this or someone needs to tell me how to go around this brain drain
