Hi there Overthrow! In reply to your wishes: As of now, Lord Tareq did not tell me of any other volunteers. I have got no roadmap, so I don't know what he really wants to be done. So far I have done the Jumpgate (the only model as of now) and besides that, started converting stats from the tabletop game (A Call To Arms) to to SOASE (Earth Alliance so far). I'm not sure if I will adhere to the goals of Lord Tareq or if I just share everything I do with him, so he can move on wi

As far as my part is concerned, I opted for using the phasegates, because building jumpgates this way gives you a huge advantage especially on big maps. I also use this ability to open a jumppoint (which means that you can't jump to any system so far - working on this) but to every other Hyperspace Entry / Exit. Phasetravel this way is immensly accelerated. The only limitations are: Cannot use Hyperspacejump to distant star system Cannot make hyperspace exit animation

Well, thats not-so-good. But, on the other hand, someone already has made a B5 Galaxy map using only one StarSystem (search the forums to find it), which fits the bill nicely I would say. I'm already playtesting it (with minor modifications) feels good. Now I just need to work a bit more on the Jumpgate textures. Wish there wouldn't be so many hardcoded limitations. Hopefully a c++ framework to develop more stuff will come out!

@ vp21ct: The animation turns on when you activate the jumpgate, and turns off when you deactivate it. @ TFL BigBANGtheory: No, the ships do not exit out of the jumpgate... As you already suspected, this seems impossible without commands to change shippositions. As for n

I made a Jumpgate as well as a Jumpengine ability for Capital Ships. If your interested, got the first Version ready as of now Features: researchable Jumpgate - tactical structure, own mesh and textures, solar panel color for team color Based on Vasari Phasegate, added ability to turn on/off (to counter the beacon effect) Researchable upgrades - makes hyperspacetravel REALLY fast Jumpengine ability for Cap Ships as research (ability position inde
