Dear Licensees,
today we released the Connectivity update. Here is an overview of what's new!
Gateways
The gateways release is finally here!
Gateways are the first type of massive infrastructure that can be built by planetary governments. Gateways allow the establishment of a network of faster-than-light links between systems that haven’t previously been connected. It’s time to create new, efficient trade routes or shorten the distances to those far-out systems.
The new GTWI command enables planetary governments to design and plan gateways with precision. It provides all key statistics at a glance, ranging from possible jumps per day and linking radius to construction and upkeep costs. Whether establishing new connections or upgrading existing ones, GTWI offers the insight needed to make informed decisions.
Several new motion types allow you to put your plans into action. Commission trusted companies to construct the gateway, handle its weekly upkeep, and supply Vortex Fuel for its operation. Then, lean back and watch as the statistics on successful gateway jumps begin to grow and with it your revenue.
With gateways, you can profit from faster connections between trading hubs and outer regions. They simplify logistics and trade operations, but time is money, as they say, and operators will charge a transit fee for each jump.
You can find out more about infrastructure and gateways on the respective handbook pages!
