Star Gates

from GalCiv2 Forums

I been playing GC2:DL off and on for a while now, I am not great at it by any means, but I feel I been getting far enough to have seen the Star Gates mentioned in the intro. But I haven't. Do these exist anymore?

Just overly curious!

Thanks

The Stargates won't show up in the game, as the hyperdrive made them obsolete.

Indeed, the star gates had a speed of 1 per week (turn), which means even having no extra engines on a ship is much faster then what they were capable of. It's all explained in the backstory, found in the databanks section of this website, and various posts by Draginol.

Could be a cool new technology, HyperGates allowing instaneous or at least extremely fast travel between two planets with them built as an improvement. They could follow the propulsion arm of the tech tree, from Impulse based gates to WarpGates.

Would be nice to be able to find and salvage an abandoned stargate, get a few bc for the resources.
