Just want some information about exo-galaxy wormholes.
To start with I began a game with two difficulty 10 AIs just to see how long I'd last - admittedly I did provide myself with a modest handicap. So the world loaded and I decided to set up some defenses at the wormholes since I expected to be an unwanted guest in their neighborhood. I glanced at my minimap and saw a flashing red wormhole, being a newbie my first thought was "hmm, that's odd.. figured everything was neutral at the beginning."
However, upon further inspection I realized that it was not in fact a typical wormhole but an exo-galaxy wormhole. Extremely close to my home command station to boot. In truth I've only finished one full game and am about mid-game in a coop one so my knowledge is very limited. I was under the impression these things were always near the AI home world. Obviously this is not the case but it still seems like a harsh start to a game.
I did try to search the wiki but didn't find anything directly related to it.
A curious beginner,
Awod.
