Hypergate, Super Stargate, etc......

from Sins Forums

Is it possible to create a Hypergate, Super Stargate or whatever in Sins? You know so one could travel quickly between other planets with such a device.

Well, I know the Vasari (Phase race) get a "Phase Gate" module that allows you to create Phase Lanes between any two gates. This only lets you travel from one gate to another mind you, and if your map is huge it'll still take a LONG time (which I found out the hard way, lol)...you can also increase the hyperspace speed while going through the phase lanes (at the very least the ones through these gates, from what I could tell at least).

You could mod it so that the gate is available for other races...but you'd have to be careful about placement in the research tree(s) so that it doesn't take up spaces that other research subjects are in.

Oh, I think these gate modules are also limited to planets in the same star system...it still makes things a lot more convenient having them, though!

I also like this idea but...

I would like a structure that uses anti-matter to create a worm hole for instant travel. Expensive to research and build. This must be built on both ends and has a long cool down time. This will be needed due to the large increase in factory build cost. I think building a car factory costs a hell of a lot more than the price of 2 cars.

A few planet types will allow more than 1 type of starbases. Combine the frigate and capital ship factorys into a SB structure with slots (factory line) to build frigates, cruisers and cap ships. This could free up 2 of the tactical slots for new structures.

Yeah, I guess the real question is what type he's talking about...because the type determines exactly what I'm talking about. (I'm referring to Vanilla Sins, btw)

Oh. I didn't know about the "Phase Gate", but that is probably because I never played as the Vasari. However. this development does make it extremely easy to add a Stargate type device into Sins , since authority exists within the game. I guess when I add it the other races, I could make Phase Gate jumps faster.

 

However, I do think it would be cool if someone modeled new gates for the Advent and TEC (I think the TEC gate should look like it was stolen from the Advent.

 

Okay, its been awhile since I messed around with modding in Sins, could someone remind of what I need to do?

IMO it should look like the TEC and Advent stole them from the Vasari if ur gonna do that, but that's just my opinion, lol.

It SHOULD be feasibly possible I would think, though.

Or the Advent stole from the Vasari and the TEC from the Advent.

In the Stargate Races mod the Ancients have Space Gates that have instantaneous travel. You can easily change the speed to whatever you want.

Also  the https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/361694 , Babylon Mod also does exactly what you and other people are asking for.  You can create jump points from your capital ships on to any planet with jump gate on it . So you dont have to have jumpgate on both.
