Suggestion: warp gate ready-area

[sir_deadlock]

Something I kept struggling with is that I didn't know where I needed to be in order to activate the warp gate. I'd float around and eventually get there (sometimes after another truck went through first). It'd be nice to know where the truck needs to be.
Maybe a floating light box/bouy like there is at some of the destinations?
Maybe a laser gate sort of like in Star Wars when Anakin had to wait his turn to fight Darth Maul?
Maybe a lock-in area like when parking at a station?

you'll get warpgateophobia if you stand too close to them, be careful

the three lights at the gates do that. If I remember it goes like this

top light: speed , one you are stopped this light will come on

second light: distance, one you are close enough this light will come on

third light: orientation ,once you are lined up and centred enough with the gate this light will come on

once all three lights are active the countdown will start and you'll be able to make the jump.

That part comes after what I'm talking about. Like, where I'd have to be so that the lights start up.
