Warp Gate base distance

[FatCobra]

Is it possible with 2.0 to adjust the base Warp Gate distance?

The default values are in starmade/data/config/blockBehaviorConfig.xml

<BlockBehavior>
<WarpGate>
                <BasicValues>
                        <!-- OLD POWER-->
                        <PowerNeededPerGateBlock>100</PowerNeededPerGateBlock> <!-- constant power consumption to keep the gate active -->
                        <PowerNeededPerMass>100</PowerNeededPerMass> <!-- to Jump, the One Time Power Expense is shipMass * PowerNeededPerMass at the time of jumping-->
                        <DistanceInSectors>64</DistanceInSectors> <!-- default: 4 systems -->
                        
                        <!-- NEW POWER -->
                        <ReactorPowerNeededPerBlockPerSec>10</ReactorPowerNeededPerBlockPerSec> <!-- Reactor power needed per Second (there is no resting state) -->
                        <ReactorPowerNeededPow>1.3</ReactorPowerNeededPow> <!-- exponential power usage -->
                </BasicValues>
</WarpGate>
</BlockBehavior>

Copy that into starmade/customBlockBehaviorConfig/customBlockBehaviorConfig.xml and adjust the values as required. Afaik the setting for distance hasn't changed and applies to both new and old gates alike.

It would be more realistic to have power consumption be (1/4)*(1/4) of blocks (squared side) - or have it cubic like ships.
Alternatively, have limited mass per block. But the buff to small gates is welcome too.

We already have limited mass / reactor size.
Because you only have that much power in storage.

There is no windup/chargeup time.

Thanks everyone
