This one's my choice - for no particular reason, except that I think it
makes for a more layered, interesting strategic system. Gives an actual
reason to 'waste' fleet points on courier ships, when they're manifestly
useless in any fight...

I'd say even the 'Hyper-Telegraph' (great name!!) be rare - lots of
colony
worlds without a HyperSpace CommStation in orbit, who depend on the
monthly (less?) courier ships and passing merchantmen for information.

(Maybe I'm just a frustrated Colonials player, hiding in SciFi
clothing...:))
