Planetary Gateway building?

Secret Backdoor option?

from Sins Forums

If this suggestion has already been posted, forgive the redundancy....

How about a research option that would allow one to create a Planetary Gateway that would provide instant fleet transportation between your Capitol planet and a second planet you own that is located anywhere on the map.?

(you would probably choose your 2nd most valuable planet, either a wealthy one or one that is a strategic/ tactical location.)

This should be invisible to an enemy (unless they research invisible gateway detection ;), it should be expensive,

and you can only connect 2 ( or maybe 3?) planets. This would certainly be a great defensive help, and might be good to help launch a sneak attack.

Just thinking aloud. Anyone, feel free to chime in!

Seems to make the Vasari's Phase stabilisers kinda useless, and the fact it's instant makes me feel it'd be a bit too exploitable.

The only way to do that would be to add some more things...

What you would have to do is add a structure with a unique value of 2 (which I'm not sure if that's even possible mind you) that reduces the phase jump delay to 0 and the speed to a near instant level for all ships exiting it's gravity well, and then find a way to limit it only to another planet that has the same structure.

...Good luck?
