Thirdly there is the military angle. The ability to transport our fleets instantaneously from one system to another may be something of a military advantage-perhaps it will even lead to a decrease in need to have the power we have in our Faster Than Light engines which draw power from weapons and defense. While I doubt it will ever be the case we can do this to all ships it is something to ponder. In addition despite our ships now being capable of crossing the entire empire within around five minutes, five minutes can still be a long time with the opponents we face. | Thirdly there is the military angle.

- | Fourth is the concern that perhaps these Gates would present some form of risk to us. I do not think that this is the case, if nothing else you will be able to place several ships or emplacements around the Gate if you find it necessary, I know [[system:Nataria]] will, and this will help ensure that the enemy does not get any further than the Gate. As such it does not present much of a military threat. If they decide to use the Gate we will at least know where they are coming from and can factor that in to defensive planning, whereas normally they could attack from all 720 degrees of space without us having the slightest idea of where they are coming from. In short, it will not present any considerable risk as long as a few simple measures are taken. | + | Fourth is the concern that perhaps these Gates would present some form of risk to us.
