~ I ' m leveling a Paladin on Kronos 2 . But since i never play alliance i just took the chance to discover some of the earlymid zone . If u wanna try stuff with lvl 60 preraid check out retrowow . <| sep |> Wormhole ships still have to be at the edge of a system to leave . Even jump drives are not immune . Only hyperspace ships used to be able to jump from within the gravity well but they ' re not able to any more , making them now the most vulnerable to this tactic . I first considered this tactic when I noticed that an Awakened Empire had a massive 150 k fleet held up by a single fortress I ' d forgotten about . This gave me enough time to destroy their other fleets before they could meet up . And since an unarmed platform with a fission reactor and snare is almost as cheap as a wormhole station , it ' s feasible to put one in every system you own . Having construction ships shadow enemy fleets means that you can rebuild stations almost as quickly as you lose them an unarmed defense platform costs just 90 minerals to build .
