Blockade

From PlanetsWiki

[edit] Overview

If a base has 3 + SQRT(Ion Cannons / 2) or more enemy ships over it and no intact friendly (own or ally) ships (ships with >99% Control Damage or 0 crew don't count) then it is under a Blockade.
Host checks for a blockade at the start of the turn, before new ships are built. Starting HW have 20 Ion Cannons, so 6 ships are needed to blockade them.

• The base can build ships
• The base cannot launch pods
• The base cannot sell contraband
• Prisoners will escape and form a new attack base on the planet. (Host 195)
  • The new base will be named Krackoff.
  • 2% or 100 (whichever is lower) of the escaping colonists become troops (Host 211)
  • The happiness loss from a prison break is limited to 30 points.

• Ships with cloak ON cannot blockade a base Host 201
• Ships with cloak ON cannot break a Blockade Host 213j
  • Cloakers will be able to have their cloaking devices turned off prior to the blockade check. Host 201
• All ships have to be in distance of 2 ly or less to the Base so they count for the blockade
