Can any one guide me how to use gates for moving from one part of the galaxy to another. I tried to do it but message comes "The distance is out of range" Can we only use gates for jumping to near by places only, if it is true then the basic phenomena of gates must have to be changed. I think the gates should have to be used to jump from any where with in the same galaxy, of course I am talking about my own and my alliances gates only.

gates can only work if they are a maximum of 24 ticks aqway from each other (inside a pale green circle) they also need 24 control ticks each the little orange box with the numbers and both of them have to be unjammed.

To get your units across the galaxy you have to build gates across gradually

Also, make sure you aren't trying to gate into a conquered colony - that won't work.

Wont work or You just wont be availeble to jump out of the colony?
How I know You can jump in but cant get out alomst like the lockdown only you can fly away lol

think of gates as normal ops, your squads cannot reach...
1 first u need to have your units u want to move on a gate or allied gate/colony, to even move.
2 your squads on the gate travel like moving op to op execpt wasteing ticks moving u use energy to warp them across, eta 24 or less only!
3 gates cannot warp on anything but gates and colonys!
4 u need to build gates in a line each atleast eta 24 or less away to move across the map.
5 it says out of range because a gate has to be atleast 24 ticks away to move.

u can gate out of a conquered colony, but u can't gate in a conquered colony.

the opposite for a lockdown, u can get in, but u can't get out.

Thanks for your detailed reply.

lol, your wellcome!
