Starsector mod
Centuries ago, massive autonomous starships known as Gate Haulers laid out the gate system, traversing space for hundreds of cycles in order to connect the Domain of Man. Trade flourished, people prospered, and humanity seemed unstoppable. History is vague on the circumstances, but the stories hold that, exactly 206 cycles ago, a prisoner named Ludd was transferred through one of the gates, and in that instant, the entire network ceased to function. The event became known simply as The Collapse and led directly to the fall of the Domain. (source, source)
Recently, there have been unverified reports of a strange occurrence in a far-away system; a lone drone in orbit around a gate...and the unmistakable shimmer of an active portal.
Gates will always require an amount of fuel to travel that is 75% of the amount of fuel it would normally take to fly directly.
TODO need some way to explain why nobody else seems to care about the newly active gate. Perhaps you can only travel them when unobserved (transponder off + running dark).
Create a staging area for exploration introduce the mod by creating an event that leads the player to discover an active jump gate out near the fringe and then activates a jump gate in the Core.
Allow player to activate 2 jump gates at a location of their choosing so they can get to their colonies more easily.
When player has a colony that delivers a net income of >25,000c in a month, they receive a new exploration mission. Upon arriving at the destination, they find the material required to reactivate a single jump gate.
TO REVIEW - what about players who don't create colonies?
Allow player to set up limited number of jump gates at any location they want. Player discovers a few intact Gate Haulers and can tell them where to haul their gates.
Gate Haulers spawn at a random already-active gate.
TO REVIEW What is considered lategame? 3 colonies making 30k+ each? Having a fleet supply cost of over 350 in a single month? Winning a solo fight where the enemy has a deployment cost of at least 100 supplies?
Requiring 75% of the normal fuel cost of flying the distance ensures that using the gates is not free travel, but also acknowledges that normal flight gives you the opportunity to refuel along the way, whereas instant travel does not, hence only 75% fuel cost.
