OK, so I can see there is a trans warp gate in the New Romulus system.

I haven't seen a Embassy project (yet) that include activating the gate.

Anyone know how or when the gate becomes active?

It doesn't appear to do anything, for now. There was a project on Tribble that mentioned it, but it didn't actually do anything, and it was removed before S7 went live. There's project for shuttle service between the starbase and embassy, rather than transwarp, and there's no Tau Dewa transwarp destinations on the Starbase trasnwarp gate.

Though if you talk to the many NPCs in the New Romulus Embassy, their appears to be a provision for a direct Transporter link between the Embassy and your Fleet Starbase...

I assumed it was/is connected to the Fleet starbase/embassy link.

I really dislike the idea of a transwarp network of gates. I don't think it suits this IP one bit.

Transport, not transporter. There's a reason that NPC is standing in front of a shuttle.


It's what the Borg had. Only two species encountered by the Federation have had reliable transwarp drive, and the Borg are the only ones with which they've had a technological exchange, even if it wasn't consensual.

Yes, granted it did appear in the IP, but not quite in this way. The borg transwarp network, at any rate, worked very differently to what we seem to have ingame.

The borg network worked via a few hubs which facilitated a transwarp/subspace conduit network. Ships would exit these conduits via 'apertures' that where not connected to structures like what we have ingame. I don't expect the UFP or the Empire to establish a system exactly as the Borg did (afterall it was regulated by the Borg Queen's control) - but it really seems more like the concept behind the Stargate IP - which is what I was getting at.

Thanks all for the info.

As for transwarp hubs, I do believe we have one in game. Isn't there a mission in the Romulan series were you defend a transwarp hub from Romulan ships, or protect the gates form the Romulans mining them?

Hmmmm, that what I thought.

Thanks for the reply.
