[SPACE] Space blockade. Why not go around?
gpt
You can blockade a planet if you have enough ships to have sensor range over the entire orbit of the planet.


It is harder however to blockade a section of space, which is why we see a fair few space minefields. You can be inconvenient at best in an attempt to blockade an empty part of space, the best you can really do is make the enemy waste time and fuel going around you.
