Editing Stargate Project

The '''Stargate Project''' is the aim of the [[Boldly Go]] [[Gamemodes|gamemode]]. It is completed in 10 phases which all require different quantities of items or other requirements.

These items are usually [[Stargate Components]] though occasionally other items are required such as [[Tilium Crystals]] and [[Stable Isotopes]].

The construction of the [[Stargate]] is loacted in the central [[Star System]] of the starting [[Sector]]. The final goal is to have a fully operational [[Stargate]].
== Phases ==

=== Phase 1: Certification ===
* This phase is completed during the [[Deep Space Industrialists]] contract, where the player partners with [[Alexander James Elistar]].
* Manufacture and deliver 10 [[Stargate Frame]]s for certification.
* Unlocks the [[Stargate Window]] and provides '''$600,000''' in seed capital for scaling production.

=== Phase 2: Bulk Manufacturing & Partnership ===
* This phase concludes the [[Deep Space Industrialists]] contract.
* Manufacture and deliver 200 Stargate Frames.
* Upon delivery, the player must choose between honoring the 50/50 profit split with Elistar or canceling the partnership, which results in the immediate loss of the ''A.J.E. Foundry'' station.

=== Phase 3: Advanced Components ===
* Deliver 250 [[Stargate Actuator]], 250 [[Stargate Resin]], and 100 Stable Isotopes.

=== Phase 4: Crystal Refinement ===
* Deliver 200 [[Stargate Receiver]], 150 Stargate Actuator, and 250 Tilium Crystals.

=== Phase 5: Power-Up ===
{{Main|Stargate Project, Phase 5}}
* Build 5 [[Energy Transmitter]]s and install them on a ship.
* Use a ship capable of delivering 1,000 MW to activate the stargate.
* Maintain 100 MW continuous power to keep the gate online.

=== Phase 6: Exploration ===
{{Main|Stargate Project, Phase 6}}
* Jump through the stargate to a new, unexplored sector.
* Explore 3 new star systems: a calm arrival zone, a [[Zeleon Gas]] cloud with a [[Star System#Meteor Shower|Meteor Shower]], and an [[Star System#Asteroid Belt|Asteroid Belt]] with [[Neubidium Ore]].
* Research [[Zeleon Gas (Research)|Zeleon Gas]] and [[Neubidium Processing]] to unlock required refining technologies.
* Deliver 75 [[Neubidium Ingot]] and 30 [[Stable Zeleon]] to complete the phase.
* Continuous 100 MW power to the stargate is required.

=== Phase 7: Confrontation ===
{{Main|Stargate Project, Phase 7}}
* [[Commander Harken]] reports the discovery of new star systems, now occupied by [[Pirates]].
* Explore 2 "FORTRESS"-marked asteroid systems guarded by [[Weapons Platform]]s and pirate ships.
* Research [[Zeleon Energy Containment]] and [[Neubidium Fabrication]] to unlock required components.
* Deliver 140 [[Zeleon Energy Cell]] and 160 [[Neubidium Capacitor]].
* Continuous 100 MW power to the stargate is required.

=== Phase 8: Crystal Synthesis ===
{{Main|Stargate Project, Phase 8}}
* Contacted by the '''Andromeda Project Representative''', who assigns a new research task related to synthetic crystal production.
* Meet [[Prof. Artemis Toppingbury]] (from [[The Trouble With Tiddlets]]) to deliver 1 × [[Shielded Zeleon]] and 1 × [[Neubidium Ingot]].
* Toppingbury discovers that a zeleon laser can charge synthetic neubidium crystals, replicating the properties of natural [[Tiddlet#Crystal|Tiddlet Crystals]].
* The laser emits lethal [[Radiation]] and must be carefully contained. The player receives:
** 1 [[Laser Infuser]]
** 5 [[Radiation Blocker]]
** 1 [[Empty Crystal]]
** 1 [[Zeleon Energy Cell]]
* A short tutorial introduces radiation safety and containment.
* Deliver 10 [[Charged Crystal]] to the Stargate to advance the project.

=== Phase 9: Final Assembly Components ===
{{Main|Stargate Project, Phase 9}}
* Phase 9 starts automatically after completing Phase 8, with no incoming communication.
* Deliver 100 [[Charged Crystal]] and 100 [[Warp Alignment Computer]]s.
* New research [[Quantum Processing]] becomes available (requires 2 RP, 3 CP, Scientist, Science Station, and Supercomputer).

=== Phase 10: Final Activation ===
*
