We'd talked about doing a JP to get Noval's involvement in the funding and construction of the gates. If we want to make their involvement more than just a basic investment - not majority ownership, but something significant and ongoing - and work on that JP some more, I can help solve the issues identified.
I've always liked the idea of gates and would be happy to see them become a more common presence in the setting. If nothing else, it creates space lanes that make things like piracy and escorts more feasible, which (I think) is a good thing. I also really like the idea of using the gates for longer travel - Babylon 5 had ships whose sole purpose was to go around setting up gates to bridge the gaps between the stars. Always thought that was kinda beautiful, even if the craft were the usual human bricks. Goes well with the "expanding beyond the sector" movement we've currently got going, too.
Anyways~ let me know. No rush.
