Abandoned Submission Tollgates

This suggestion has been closed. Votes are no longer accepted.
Hi Soban,
  • Do they have any interior spaces like a control station built onto the ring structure?
  • What is their hull made out of? What systems does it have? Is it run by an AI, Powered by Hamsters on Wheels(Aether, Fusion, Matter-Antimatter)? Like any technology article, it needs its systems listed out. Just like the Systems heading in any submission for a space station, ship, etc. Does it have thrusters for station-keeping and positioning adjustments?
  • What statistics does it have, the damage rating of the structure?
 
Any progress on this?
 
I've updated with regards to DR, but for everything else, my answers are still "Whatever happens to be dramatically appropriate when it becomes relevant." Which is a fancy way of saying I don't really know. So no, there hasn't been much progress on it.
 
I am going to take over the review since Andrew is out on medical hiatus. What do you need Soban?
 
I've made some updates. However, I don't really know much about the systems side of things or much interest in making that information up. When it becomes relevant we can probably flesh it out.
 
Since you don't feel like improving the article to the approval level there are a few routes you can take:

  1. Leave them as soft canon on the forum/in RP.
  2. Seek an exception from @Wes
  3. Ask for someone's help in fleshing the article out to include the systems/hull materials of the gate.
  4. Come back when you feel like doing those things.

We all have to live up to the same standards. Be it someone submitting a starship or a power armor, we need to know how it is constructed(the materials, etc) and the systems (sub-systems) it includes.
 
We'd talked about doing a JP to get Noval's involvement in the funding and construction of the gates. If we want to make their involvement more than just a basic investment - not majority ownership, but something significant and ongoing - and work on that JP some more, I can help solve the issues identified.

I've always liked the idea of gates and would be happy to see them become a more common presence in the setting. If nothing else, it creates space lanes that make things like piracy and escorts more feasible, which (I think) is a good thing. I also really like the idea of using the gates for longer travel - Babylon 5 had ships whose sole purpose was to go around setting up gates to bridge the gaps between the stars. Always thought that was kinda beautiful, even if the craft were the usual human bricks. Goes well with the "expanding beyond the sector" movement we've currently got going, too.

Anyways~ let me know. No rush.
 
These have been sitting for a while and still do not meet standards. Moving to abandoned, when you get the articles actually finished you can resubmit.
