Stargate Project, Phase 6: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Stargate Project, Phase 6''' is the sixth phase of the gameplay event [[Stargate Project]] and marks the beginning of deep-space exploration ~~via a fully~~ activated [[Stargate]]. The player must ~~first build the infrastructure to power~~ the gate ~~and travel~~ into ~~uncharted space. Once there~~, ~~they must~~ collect and research ~~exotic materials in order~~ to complete the phase.

'''Stargate Project, Phase 6''' is the sixth phase of the gameplay event [[Stargate Project]] and marks the beginning of deep-space exploration. Phase 6 begins after the [[Stargate]] has been successfully powered and activated in [[Stargate Project, Phase 5]]. The player must now travel through the gate into a new sector, collect exotic materials, and conduct research to complete the phase.

== Entering the New Sector ==

~~To travel~~ through the Stargate, the ~~player must first construct~~ and ~~install~~ the ~~necessary energy infrastructure:~~

The player initiates Phase 6 by jumping through the [[Stargate]] using a ship capable of sustaining 100 MW continuous power output. The jump is initiated via the FTL tab if no target is selected and the ship is located at the Stargate.

* Build five [[Energy Transmitter]]s at the [[Assembly Table]].

It is strongly recommended to use a ship equipped for mining, material collection, and gas harvesting, as both [[Neubidium Ore]] and [[Zeleon Gas]] must be gathered in the destination sector. A [[Refinery]] is required to process the gas; fabrication capabilities are not yet needed.

* Install them on a ship capable of supplying at least 1,000 MW power.

* Deliver a 1,000 MW energy burst to activate the Stargate.

* Maintain 100 MW of continuous power to keep the gate online.

* Jump through the Stargate with the equipped ship.

~~The jump is initiated via the FTL tab when the ship is at the [[Stargate]] location and no target is selected.~~

It is strongly recommended to use a ship equipped for mining, material collection, and gas harvesting, as both [[Neubidium Ore]] and [[Zeleon Gas]] must be ~~collected~~ in the destination sector. ~~Fabrication capabilities are not required, but a~~ [[Refinery]] is ~~essential for~~ gas ~~processing~~.

== After the Jump ==

Upon arrival in the new [[Sector]], the player is hailed by [[Commander Harken]]. She explains that ~~this~~ area lies beyond known space and outside her jurisdiction. Harken ~~performs~~ a full system scan and warns of possible pirate activity and unstable conditions.

Upon arrival in the new [[Sector]], the player is hailed by [[Commander Harken]]. She explains that the area lies beyond known space and outside her jurisdiction. Harken initiates a full system scan and warns of possible pirate activity and unstable conditions.

The sector contains three Star Systems:

* A quiet, uneventful system where the player arrives.

* A dense [[Zeleon Gas]] cloud system with an active [[Meteor Shower]].

* An [[Asteroid Belt]] system ~~with deposits of~~ [[Neubidium Ore]], ~~alongside~~ regular [[Ore]] and [[Metal]].

* An [[Asteroid Belt]] system containing [[Neubidium Ore]], as well as regular [[Ore]] and [[Metal]].

To collect [[Zeleon Gas]], the player must ~~equip their ship with~~ a [[Gas Collector]] ~~and~~ set it to Zeleon mode. For progression, gas ~~collection and~~ refining are ~~essential~~.

To collect [[Zeleon Gas]], the player must use a [[Gas Collector]] set to Zeleon mode. For progression, both mining and gas refining are required.

== Research and Phase Objective ==

After collecting ~~[[Neubidium Ore]] and [[Zeleon Gas]]~~, ~~the player gains access to~~ the following research:

After collecting the exotic materials, the following research becomes available:

* '''[[Zeleon Gas (Research)|Zeleon Gas]]''' — requires 3 RP and 2 CP. Unlocks:

Line 38:

Line 30:

These research tasks must be completed by a [[Scientist]] aboard a ship equipped with a [[Super Computer]] and a [[Science Station]].

Note: '''[[Zeleon Energy Containment]]''' and '''[[Neubidium Fabrication]]''' are unlocked ~~but~~ not required ~~for~~ Phase 6 ~~and~~ are likely needed for [[Stargate Project, Phase 7]].

Note: While '''[[Zeleon Energy Containment]]''' and '''[[Neubidium Fabrication]]''' are unlocked, they are not required to complete Phase 6. They are likely needed for [[Stargate Project, Phase 7]].

~~To complete Phase 6, the player must refine and deliver:~~

To complete the phase, the player must deliver:

* 75 units of [[Neubidium Ingot]]

* 30 units of [[Stable Zeleon]]

Submitting these resources ~~finalizes~~ Phase 6 ~~and permanently activates the Stargate~~.

Submitting these resources completes Phase 6.

== Transition to Phase 7 ==

Immediately after completing Phase 6, the ~~required materials~~ for [[Stargate Project, Phase 7]] become visible. Shortly thereafter, [[Commander Harken]] contacts the player ~~and~~ officially ~~initiates~~ the next phase.

Immediately after completing Phase 6, the requirements for [[Stargate Project, Phase 7]] become visible. Shortly thereafter, [[Commander Harken]] contacts the player to officially begin the next phase.

== Travel and Progression ==

Players can ~~jump~~ freely between ~~their~~ home sector and the Stargate sector without ~~altering~~ its state. Jumping does not reset resource availability or cause progression.

Players can freely travel between the home sector and the Stargate sector without affecting its state. Jumping does not reset resource availability or cause progression.

== Notes ==

* The Stargate ~~will deactivate if the energy supply drops below~~ 100 MW.

* The Stargate must remain powered with at least 100 MW of continuous energy throughout this phase.

* Energy Transmitters must be installed and ~~online~~ — cargo ~~storage~~ does not count.

* Energy Transmitters must be installed and active — storing them in cargo does not count.

* Only ships with adequate energy and control systems can maintain gate operation.

* The sector beyond the Stargate appears fixed as of [[Version History#Alpha 15|Alpha 15]].

* The ~~destination~~ sector appears fixed as of [[Version History#Alpha 15|Alpha 15]].
