Communication Options With Future Deep Space Probes?

[QUOTE="Devin-M, post: 6803014, member: 683547"] I was wondering if humans send spacecraft far enough into space in the future (for example Alpha Centauri or other star systems further away), is there any particular distance where it might make more sense to communicate between star systems by making a star blink with some sort of shutter array rather than trying to build a powerful enough radio transmitter? In other words, above a certain distance would it take less energetic effort to make a star blink with some sort of blocking mechanism rather than trying to build a big enough radio transmitter and power source?
