Resistance Gateway Issue.

[rdouglass1]

When I first started to build these a few weeks back, it looked to me like ships automatically went to the Nearest one to jump to the Closest one nearest the Destination.
Today I am attempting to send some ships through two to a desired destination, and they only jump between two in the same sector, and don't even consider jumping to the completed unit in the area I want them to jump to...
they will not Enter a gate on their own, only if I send them to it. No more Auto-Jumps.

OK... Ships will not Jump between two gates in dif Sectors........

Did you paired them ?

I never paired them earlier, and they looked to send ships where I wanted them...
Just figured the Pairing. Did not need to do that when they first came on here that I recall.

How would I Pair Them??

If you select one Gateway, you should be able to click the Pairing icon at the bottom left: Set Paired Gateway.

Got it. thanks.

From the Change Log:

Stellar Gateways
Toggle button is properly disabled when a Megastructure is under construction
Added correct icons for decommissioning a Stellar Gateway

Might be nice to Add "Must Be Paired To Work"...

[rdouglass1]

Just curious...
When these first came into the game, they did not need to be Paired...
You could select a ship, side scroll to the destination, Click it, and the ship would Auto-Move to the nearest gate, and exit from the nearest gate to that desired destination...
Why was that SIMPLE Operation removed from the game??

I think the first 2 you build automatically get paired up but after that you need to pair gateways. I noticed this the last game I played, I had built 4 gateways and was surprised when ships where using the first two gateways prior to me pairing them. After I had 4 gateways built the 2 unpaired gateways needed me to pair them up.

OK.. The Auto Go To gate does not work even if they are Paired. The ship Must be sent to a Gate for it to jump through...
Would be Great if Each Gate Location did not need to be Memorized in each Sector for this to work...

I was just trying to send one of my Dreadnoughts through a gate. Is there a Size limit for ships going through them??

I wonder if the issue may pop up when a new gateway is build. Like you have to redo your pairings or else the game will "forget" them and not use the shortcuts properly.

Probably. I have sent a couple of Colony ships and they sit until I check and Re-Pair the gate.
The way it work at the start is a better way IMHO...

I am seeing a Side Issue with the Gates...
I have made quite a few of them, and have Paired Each of them to Gate Number 3.
I send a ship to an earlier gate, and it Sits there, Not Entering the gate. I Re-Pair it with 3, and the ship will go.
Looks like Multiple Pairings Disable Previous Pairings... Not sure, but each time the ship stops and Sits, I need to Re-Pair that unit to the destination.
It gets to be a Pain that way. The Auto-Enter/Auto-Exit idea seems better and better after each issue.

It looks more and more like this is the problem.. Over-Ride the Last.

[rdouglass1]

Yep.. Because I am Pairing all of my gates to One Destination, the Pairing Breaks each time a new gate is added......
That is a problem!!
