How do smaller AI ships, that come from the edges of the gate, handle the rotating parts? Does it not mess up their approach/lead to crashes?

Cadius · Post by **Cadius** » Sun, 5. Sep 10, 11:25

All rotating parts are behind the gate, the front part will be kept as clear as possible

yeah the flight paths are based on the inside of the ring i guess so anything level/outside or behind the ring wont make a difference.

Any news on this?

It looks fantastic

Looks awesome. You gunna stick to the same texture as the current gates. I always did think the current gates were too small.

Hope that ya include the Terran gate in Neptune and can disable the Hub gates. I tried out PSCO1's large gate mod and while all the normal commonwealth gates are fine, the Hub and Neptune gates remain the same with a larger event horizon extending past the gate framework.

The only way this could be better is if you change the hub into the Eye of Aarran.

Is there a way to have the Warp Gates in Terran space actually use the Terran Gate model, especially a resized version?

Looks a bit odd they have a Commonwealth gate and are so stuck up about enemy tech normally.

Terran "Gates" are actually Trans-Orbital Accelerators. They serve the same purpose when flying for free, but they're not compatible with jumpdrives. You can't jump past Asteroid Belt. The "jump gates" look different because they ARE different.

They're referring to that one jumpgate built to connect the ALDRIN Sectors to the rest of terran space..........

TrixX · Post by **TrixX** » Mon, 13. Sep 10, 04:48

Not talking about the Terran Orbital Accelerators. There are actual Terran Warp Gate models in the game files. They look very different to the Argon ones and have no bits that stick on ships from the event horizon of the gate.

It looks like this was to be the gate Heretic's End or to be used in an upcoming update. Personally I hope there is a bit more reason to enter Terran Territory soon as currently it's a bit of a cul de sac in the universe of X3!

Botpwned · Post by **Botpwned** » Mon, 13. Sep 10, 05:41

Yes but that Terran gate was really only made once and that was connecting the Commonwealth to Sol but otherwise they didn't make anymore. The Trans orbital accelerators were built so that the Xenons were unable to get back using a 'jumpdrive' like you do in game. Although I must admit that It would be nice to get some bigger gates in though I guess the ancient race that made the originals were little dwarfs with mini spaceships....

TrixX · Post by **TrixX** » Mon, 13. Sep 10, 06:20

Yeah that Terran gate could easily be used to create a link to Aldrin instead of requiring a Jump Drive (what did they jump to anyway...). Also making that link up in the Oort Cloud would give us a reason to head up that way, especially if Aldrin and it's area link up to a different section of the X Universe. Getting bored with Omicron Lyrae and company

Botpwned · Post by **Botpwned** » Mon, 13. Sep 10, 06:24

Get out good old LV's Gate construction script and Cycrows cheat menu and destroy the gates then rebuild them reconnecting them elsewhere

TrixX · Post by **TrixX** » Mon, 13. Sep 10, 06:38

Yeah I know that, hell it's easy enough to add them as it is, just that I want to use the other gate style and can't work out how...

Going to link the Unknown sector in the Bottom right of the main map to the Oort Cloud. Gives a bit more access to other locales
