So all of those actually go through the same set of relays. That means generally if you knock out a relay, all the resources you want to get to the items stop flowing that way. What we do have is kind of the opposite, is relays that do not allow some resources through. This makes sense if you think of a Starfarer: we have the external tanks on one side and you have the internal tanks, and when you are giving fuel to some dude, you don't want to be draining your internal fuel tanks. And as far as the game is concerned, they are the same thing, they're just fuel tanks, why can't I take fuel from them? So we added relays that do not allow that kind of connection between both sides of the network. But we still obviously can have an alternate bypass that is turned off by default, and if you want to do that, we would allow it. But yes, as a general rule, most ships or most situations, you're going to have all the resources going through the same route. And if you lose the connection, well, that's it.
