gates

[moggy2]

[quote="Brianetta"]Nobody complained about the three extra gates that appeared mysteriously in X-Tension, revealing all the new sectors.

I think it's quite reaonable to believe that the extra gates were discovered through exploration, then towed into position so that there would be a single, small area for commerce.

Just what I was thinking.

So does that mean we'll see new gates being towed in from the edges of the systems in X2?? ;)

and they dont have to work in pairs either

So youre saying that the gate in siezewell is the same, physical, gate that is in Teladi Gain.?? Hmnnnn, explain..

ok maybe thats bad wording

do gates in diffreent sectors are different gates

what i mean is that you dont have to have sets of pairs of gates i.e. even numbers of gates paired together for instance you could have 3 gates and you could jump from one gate to either of the other two. (assuming you knew how to tell the gates to change target gates)

the way the gates are linked in pairs in the x-universe is not due to constrainits in how the gates work. but is due to the gates builders chosing to link them like that to make them easyer for the races to use.

Sory 4 bein pedantic but dint anybody else notice that the gates in Xbtf and XT were different in XT they had no blue struts on them! I fought that the gates were origanally all built by humans then wen the xenon appeared they were lured into the gate by the reamaini earth fleet who led them 2 the gate in the middle of the xenon/pirate sectors!! then the humans destroyed the earth gate! Nathan Gunn meets argons givs them his technology e.t.c! Then all the planets are old earth sectors wich were destroyed by the xenon! Then over the years the other races established there sectors som of them been pushed out of their homes by the xenon! Hence i think its ocean of fantasy were the sector description says believed 2 b the home of the borons!! e.t.c! again ! Then i fought that afta disecting the x-shuttle the races improved the gates hence the reason they look different!!!!!
Phew!
like the idea bout the gates bein discovered then towed into position! Also i thing that it is the same gate in seizewel as in teladi gain, greater profit, e.t.c! Dont ask me y or how thats jst wot i presumed!!

Cheers Monkman

p.s just remembered y i fought bout the gate thing coz if i can remember if u destroy a gate then the correspondin 1 in the over system goes aswel! i think anyway! Som1 plz correct me or tel me its rite!!

Phew!

That's the only problem with XT that I had, the gates misteriously changed! But seeing as the only two that were made by the Humans were the destroyed one in Brennans Triumph and the one at earth, plus any insystem ones, as Fireblade said.

But I came up with an explination. The Ancients built the others, so they look different! hahaha



BTW, lern 2 spel, m8

[moggy2]

And judging by the X2 screensshots, the ancients have been busy refitting all the gates again ;-)

this is about gates not working, especially in seta mode have learnt not to go for a cuppa when lined up to go through gate in seta mode .
quite often it doesnt to next sector and I come back to find I am 10000 kms out in space in same sector.
Occasionally happens in normal mode. anyone else experienced this?

I think that the gates were found outside the main sector and then brought in.
