Warp Gate

A Warp Gate is a transport system which can connect two physically separate Space Stations, allowing ships to teleport between the two as long as the ships can fit within the physical boundaries of the gate, and the stations have enough power to support the mass being transported.

The term "Warp Gate" is technically applicable to each individual gate, but without another gate linked to it, a single gate has no function.

Each Warp Gate is composed of one Warp Gate Computer linked to a number of Warp Gate Modules. For a Warp Gate to function, the Warp Gate Modules must be arranged in a physically-contiguous ring, or other closed profile (eg. square, diamond, etc), with all of the modules aligned on the same plane. Any 2D shape which forms a closed profile is technically compatible; the only requirements are that all modules lie on the same plane, and that all modules touch exactly 2 other modules.

Warp Gates must be linked to each other using a Marker Beam. This is an Astronaut Tool used for inter-structure linking. To link Warp Gates with it, press Right Click while aiming at the first of two Warp Gate stations to link. This will store this station as a destination. Then, travel to the target station and press Left Click while aiming at the Warp Gate Computer of the target structure. The two gates should now be linked in one direction: to link them both ways, repeat this process, but start by pressing Right Click while aiming at the second station, rather than the first.
