Built
on existing weapons platform technology, Vaygr Hyperspace
platforms provide limitless tactical hyperspace
capabilities. Their speed, durability, and relatively low
cost make these gates the deciding factor in Vaygr surprise
attacks.
"Vaygr
players will instead develop a system that uses fixed
hyperspace gates to allow extremely inexpensive hyperspace
travel between two fixed points." - Geoff Thomas,
Assistant Producer
"Yeah
that's about 3 times the size of the mothership in each
direction. It's big but not biggest. The Gate though... edge
to edge it's huge..." - Dan Irish, Executive
Producer
"While
the Hiigarans have traditional hyperspace modules that allow
most ships to make tactical hyperspace jumps, the Vaygr need
to deploy Hyperspace Gates. These allow even Fighters to
jump unassisted, but the gates can be targeted and even
captures." - Josh Mosquiera, Lead Designer
"But soon, three of the Vaygr's
special hyperspace gateway units cruise into view,
threatening to bring in enemy reinforcements waiting some
distance away if these gateway units are allowed to make their
arrangements."
- Sam Parker, GameSpot
This
is the mobile, deployable version of the Vaygr hyperspace
gate, not to be confused with the massive megalith version.
It doesn't form an actual physical gate, but rather allows
friendly units to hyperspace in nearby.
It
appears to be a single-burn, move-only-once vessel like the
probes and weapons platforms.
