Lots of chitter chatter these days about fast transit around the universe. Jump drives, warp drives, etc. Thought I would shout in support of the idea of a mass transit ability, but I disagree with the concept of ship based warping.
Starmade, at least to me, is about building large and awesome structures in space, ships, bases. Homes on the planet surface. Groups vying for interstellar resources, trading, etc. Why can't we have, therefore, a jump gate system in place where people can cooperate together to build networks of fast transit Hubs. Each route requiring two gates to work, encouraging exploration the hard way, before you can set up your jump points, and bring a trade route into being? It's perfect for getting around quickly, and for those servers with roleplayers on, gives opportunity to those who like exploring, to deploy gates for their organisation/faction/boss etc
