Some maps do not have any phase lanes linking to the star. It seems silly to be able to set the Occupation victory on maps like these as there is no way to get to the occupied planet. 

I think Occupation victory should either be disabled completely for maps like these, or at the very least have a note saying something to say there is no phase lane to the star so occupation victory will not work. 

Such maps include: Ancient Gifts and Foreign Invasion. Will update when/if I/others find more.

Well if its impossible to get too, I don't think it really changes a whole lot if its there or not does it? There's no easy way for the game to tell just from the map file so that might be hard to implement short of each map getting a list of valid victory modes.

OP has a point.  Can't Vasari make a phase lane and bunbeatable by capping the planet?

The Kostura cannon can only target planets, and even if it hit the occupation planet phase lanes can't link between stars except from one star to another.

Do you have the name of a specific map or maps that this can be reproduced on?

He means premade maps like ancient gifts where there is never a phase lane to the star, not random maps.

You have to explore the planet before you can Kostura it. If its impossible to get to any star you can't explore the occupied system.

While you are here I highly recommend changing the way stock maps are such as instead of it being categorized by size, have it categorized by what the map is best for(game type wise). Or you could keep size and recommendation.

Ancient Gifts. You should put 1 phase lane to 1 star, and that would solve the problem.

I believe Razors Edge also has a star in the center of the map that cannot be reached.
