Limited mesh access has already been a plot point once. Figuring out why things work they way they do is part of the fun of EP for me, and hopefully for my players. | |

Unless of course you coordinate them so that you use or avoid the interference… but that's the same as doing two links on one laser beam with twice the power, and presumably you're already giving it max power. Because of how much even lasers spread out over interplanetary distances, you need two widely-spaced (many km apart at least) receivers to double up on laser links without using interference management that would make them redundant. | |
