In the stream y'day @Wiz mentioned that destroying wormhole station won't provide any warscore as that's only generated by things that can fight back. Seems fair enough, but I wonder if it's possible to upgrade wormhole stations so that they can fight back? Or will they always depend on a fleet or a nearby defence platform to defend them?

Another things I wondered, if I use wormhole stations, and a neighbour of my does as well, can we sign a treaty that allows to use use each others wormholes stations? Or should we just sign a treaty that allows use to construct station in each others space, and basically build a double infrastructure?

The best plan for defending wormhole stations is probably just to place a defense station right next to them. It also gives you the flexibility to add defenses to key wormhole stations but keep stations that are less important vulnerable and spend less minerals/energy for them.

My guess is that you can use wormhole stations that belong to your allies, but not of neutral nearby empires. Maybe there's a special treaty for it though.

There is a diplomatic option asking to have station rights. Good thing, otherwise wormhole factions would be unable to help defend their allies.

Yes, I noticed that too in one of the streams. But my question is if that merrily allows to build stations in their space, or allows use of their stations as well. It would feel a bit wasteful to build a station infrastructure in an allied empire that already has one.
