' Wrote:Exactly, it says nothing about blowing up jumpgates. Why repeat Dallas incident when you can create an incident of it's own.
However I think that if you blow up an inactive gate not much will happen. With a wormhole open? Who knows (collapsing stars come to mind).
I think it's incorrect to compare the energy outburst from a destabilized wormhole and energy outburst from a feedback wave sent by antimatter cloud of cosmic scales.
Hell, we're getting destabilized wormholes once in a while - you all know jumpholes are sometimes collapsing. Yeah, few people died cause of that, but mainly because they were in them at that moment.

You're losing a war, you implement a scorched Earth policy.
It'll never get implemented in disco)
Otherwise both Rheinland and Gallia (in future, I guess?) wouldn't really lose their wars. Gallia would just burn down every planet and station it managed to capture during it's advance (and I guess they'll capture some more, till other houses come to help), and Rheinland would just blow gates to Liberty. And story is dictated by the devs and their "scenario" (I think I'm right here?)
