Hypergate

A Hypergate is a buidable space object.

Summary

In , a Hypergate enables faster galactic travel by forming a hyperlane to another hypergate. Ships that enter a hypergate travel along the hyperlane at twice the normal speed. A hypergate is constructed by a Unrecognized icon name Stellar Architect.

Multiple Connections

It is possible for a hypergate to be connected to more than one hypergate, however note that hypergate can use its connection to connect to only one other hypergate, but any number of other hypergates can connect to a given hypergate.

In this manner, it is possible to create structures such as chains, triangles or spoke and hub arrangements. As examples:

• Chain: A-> B, B->C, C->D etc.
• Triangle: A-> B, B-> C, C->A
• Hub and Spoke: A-> B, C->A, D->A, E->A

Hyperlane Visibility

Hyperlanes are visible even in space where you do not currently have Sensor Range. However the hypergate itself will not be visible unless a planet, Starbases, or Starships are in sensor range.

Making hyperlanes faster

There are three ways to make hyperlanes faster. Each reduces travel time by 1/6 of normal, so travel becomes instantaneous with all three bonuses.

• The Unrecognized icon name Hyperlane Tunneling technology
• The Unrecognized icon name Hyperlane Streaming technology
• The Unrecognized icon name Dimensional Observatory galactic achievement

Hyperlane Obstructions

Hyperlanes may be obstructed by Black Holes, Nebulae or have significantly reduced movement speed. Avoid routing a hypelink through these areas of space.
