Stargate Project
The Stargate Project is the aim of the Boldly Go 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
Phase 2
- 200 Stargate Frame
Phase 3
- 250 Stargate Actuator
- 250 Stargate Resin
- 100 Stable Isotopes
Phase 4
- 200 Stargate Receiver
- 150 Stargate Actuator
- 250 Tilium Crystals
Phase 5
- Build 5 Energy Transmitters 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
- Jump through the stargate to a new, unexplored sector.
- Explore 3 new star systems: a calm arrival zone, a Zeleon Gas cloud with a Meteor Shower, and an Asteroid Belt with Neubidium Ore.
- 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
- Commander Harken reports the discovery of new star systems, now occupied by Pirates.
- A Shipyard, Contracts, and Trade become available in the arrival system.
- Explore 2 "FORTRESS"-marked asteroid systems guarded by Weapons Platforms 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 7 has no defined ending as of Alpha 16.
Phase 8
After all required materials for Phase 7 have been delivered, the player is contacted by an Andromeda Project Representative who congratulates them on completing the phase. The representative explains that the project’s research team has begun investigating a newly discovered lifeform known as Tiddlets.
One of the scientists has found that when Tiddlets die, they form unique crystalline structures. The Andromeda Project would, as the representative puts it, "love to relentlessly farm" these crystals. However, due to recent events, the Tiddlets have been declared a strictly protected species. (It is implied that this decision may be connected to the outcome of the story contract The Trouble With Tiddlets.)
The player is now tasked with assisting scientists who are attempting to reproduce the Tiddlet crystals through ethical means. To support their research, the player must deliver the following materials:
- 1 × Shielded Zeleon
- 1 × Neubidium Ingot
