Warp Gates can only be built on Moons. If you have more than one moon and a Jump Gate on each you can transport your entire fleet, but no resources, instantly from one to the other without using hydrogen. Constructing/owning only a single jump gate has no benefit, since a source and destination jump gate are required to operate.
There is a sixty minute recharge time in between jumps, i.e. you could only send fleets once every sixty minutes. This cool down / recharge time is only needed for the two jump gates that were used.
Upgrading the Jump Gates does not have any effect (except for your points in statistics). There is no reduction in recharge time or any other benefit gained by upgrading a Jump Gate beyond level 1. edit How To Use Sample jump gate dialog Once you have at least two moons with jump gates, select the moon that has the ships you wish to send and display the Buildings view. Click on the jump gate image to display the in-game description of jump gates, followed by the jump gate control panel. Use the drop-down control to select a destination moon, enter a number next to each ship type stationed at the moon, and select "Execute Jump!".
But remember you can't take resources with you, so if your fleet is transported make sure you have some hydrogen on your destination.
