Can we have some tech that can Damper/Slow enemy movements when they enter our influence area. Maybe not for all faction, but best for defence type faction.

This is a good idea. It can also go two ways:

1. It's a tech that when researched just does the effect.

2. It unlocks an improvement you can build that applies the effect in the influence created by the system it's built. Maybe it provides a small vision boost as well.


Either way, this would be pretty useful if you plan on or do have some enemies. Stops them from rushing in a scout ship to see what you got and gives you time to react to an approaching invasion fleet. If you go the second option, you can even do a little extra and make it destroy probes from enemy empires that are launched into the sphere of influence.

A tech that helps counter it takes it's place for more offense based factions. But it should just be a big reduction and not a complete nullification, otherwise the tech becomes useless.

If it's like the Improvement Idea, perhaps it comes in the form of a support module for ships? It lowers the reduction by a %. And maybe some of the higher grade probe modules have bonuses added like "Cannot be destroyed for ___ turn(s) when entering protected enemy influence"

Lore-wise having this be a Vaulter portal upgrade sort of makes sense.

It could be described as a "Warp Speed Dampener" or something like that.

Example of Lore:


"Repurposed from old Concrete Endless designs used to counteract the surprising advancements made in Virtual ship speeds. It creates what best can be described as "ripples" through space using dust, causing ships with conventional light speed engines to go lose speed upon hitting each ripple. This gave Concrete planets time to prepare for incoming invasion fleets and evacuate if needed. With some reverse engineering, similar devices can be constructed. Knowledge of how these devices work can also be used to reduce their effects."
