Title: Gatebuilder
Post by: ExChairman on September 05, 2014, 04:10:54 AM: Shouldn't there be a material cost to build gateways??
I have a gatebuilder that is on its 25 gate and still going on...

The cost of a construction ship is usually greater than the cost of the gate.

The gate is described as a stable jump point in which a ship can jump through without the use of jump engines. The "constructing" part is the module stabilizing the gravitational anomalies with some sort of technobable, ie. magnetic field, gravitons, neutrinos, ect.
