considering that player 5 is the single strongest position in the game, and that player 7 is at least average in strength, that statement does not make for good logic...

edit to add: even player 7 should not have that much of a problem with a fuel less ship in his webs. after all, how far can you go in a web mine field?

I would agree with you about player 5, early in the game. But player 5 can be quickly negated once economies get going with mine/Web fields, decloakers and poppers.

If a player is stuck in a Web field 0 lys. But if a ship is over a planet when a Web Field is laid over the planet, it can still move into the gravity well traveling at warp 1, if it has fuel or not. When I'm not player 7 and a Web is laid over a planet that I'm at and I know I can't sweep it, I head to the Gravity well. Once there, I dump all my fuel and me and player 7 play chase the ship around the planet at warp 1 or until my luck runs out and I hit a Web mine.
