Talk:Warp Gate

what are they anyway? all i know is they belong on moons. anyone with more info?

Can only the owner use the Gate? Or can you allow other users (alliance members, buddy list) to use it? Can you charge a fee like a tollbooth? -Captain Orca (kidding on the last one)

Just got confirmation that warp gate DO function across galaxies. Should probably be stated explicitly on the wiki page since I hear this question alot. -Grynch

Is there a charge to use the jump gate, or are jumps free once the gates have been built? From what I hear, they don't cost anything to use, but you can only use them once an hour. -Grynch

Picture

Why are there no pictures of the warp gate? I always imagined it as the ones in Babylon 5.

- I could find us one, but I'm not sure it wouldn't be copyrighted... and yeah, I was thinking that too.

Thats one thing they need to fix, is put more Picture that are detailed in. --Phil Sutherland 12:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Note on Building Time

Based on a question on the message boards, I did some math and determined that the absolute fastest possible method to build a Warp Gate on a brand-new moon is the following build sequence: Lunar 1, Capitol 1, Capitol 2, Lunar 2, Capitol 3, Capitol 4, Lunar 3, Capitol 5, Capitol 6, Lunar 4, Capitol 7, Capitol 8, Warp Gate. This will leave all fields occupied after the Gate is built, so you will need to tear down the Capitol 8 in order to add further Lunar levels and/or go into building an Oracle. Going beyond Capitol 8 will actually slow you down, as the Warp Gate's build-time reduction for Capitol 9 is smaller than the combined build time of Lunar 5 plus Capitol 9.
