Don't like how the game plays under patch 1.50.20
If a hostile ship is blockading your system all planets in that system are shut down.
You cant build.
All tech stops working. My planet which had enriched soil and a decent leader now can't even feed itself, previously if fed 10 other worlds.

This new blockade feature now makes space stations, missile bases and ground batteries obsolete.
I don't have to conquer you, all I need to do is have a scout ship in your system to paralyze multiple worlds.

Please please don't ruin the game.

MAD_GOG: This new blockade feature (all I need to do is have a scout ship in your system to paralyze multiple worlds).
Est 1996 is not that new.
(if you by some chance indeed about some actually directly related to 1.50 recent bug, better write in 1.50 thread)
<scratches head>

I know the game behaved like this in the last official version (v1.31) already, at least. May not have in version 1.0, which was never sold where I live. Unsure about v1.2.

Now that you know of blockades, you know to protect your bread basket planets with fleets or at least be able to bring in a fleet in a turn or two.
Well, he dumped copy of this post from Steam; looks like game is not ruined anymore.
You can build.
