- After looking at this I think FMs from the factions you are placing gates in their systems should have a say in which systems etc
- A step further, I think this is a chance for some international RP - Your company should IC negotiate with leaders of the nations and systems you intend to put gates in. Who is paying to install these?
- I think there should be an actual tech submission associated with the gate's design as well.
Is this a new form of faster than light travel?
If you wanna do some RP setting it up, Noval would be interested in having a share. I was thinking of having them make gates a while back, but being a shareholder sounds much more interesting!
I don't have any objection to the Mining Guild paying for a gate in their system, though I do have to ask how much it costs to buy into the program, and what transit costs are.
- I've always seen Gate Systems as something that we would use for extremely long distances, for example from a secured system in the Empire to say another Sector outside of the Kikyo Sector. We have starships that have hyperspace drives that can transit through the area quite regularly. I think making instant gate transit between systems further defeats the limitations in the setting.
- Is the Department of Immigration performing checks on ships passing through these gates that go between sovereign nations?
- Who owns the gates? Who is paying to use them? We have hyperspace drives.
- I feel this could also be a security risk. Can we turn the gate off to a system if we want?
I think this would be great over long hauls but we have ships for a reason.
I also think a tech submission would be needed, it is a structure and therefore it and its technology should be defined.
That certainly works.As setting manager my suggestions to make this work I think we should:
- Put gates next to known 1-2 Leyline access points for spacer convenience but don't physically connect the networks so spacers feel safe
- Put gates in Yamatai in places the Star Army is strong at but not in military-only systems like Nataria. We can simply guard them. No biggie. In dire circumstances the Izanagi or Iori parked in front of the gate can "manually" take the gate offline by force.
