at least some stargates are manned, you can see this if you look up ingame, the description for Deklein region.
Others might not be manned, like the smuggler stargates, or the ones in missions. |

Yes, they do. There is lore in a region description somwhere of stargate technicians being trained in a specific 0.0 region by families who have run them for generations.
edit: synthetic cultist got it before I did. I was busy looking for it.

Quote:Like a skeletal finger pointing out toward the void, Deklein is a narrow band of stars loosely connected by some of the most ancient gates outside of empire space. The region is so remote, that some of the gates remain the ones found in the original explorations. While in most regions gate crews swap out every five years or so, in Deklein some of these ancient gates have been run by the same family for hundreds of years.
These families have intricate knowledge of their stargates and the network their connected too, it was once the practice that aspiring gatemen would travel to Deklein to do their year and come back GÇ£Deklein trainedGÇ¥ GÇô an title of some honor which would almost guarantee them a chief gate operator positionGǪ of course, some would never return.
With the advent of heavy Gurista presence in the area this practice ceased, although the families still exist, keeping the gate network running and passing on their extensive knowledge to any gate operator crazy enough to run the gauntlet of dangers to reach them.
Surfin's PlunderBunny wrote:Roll Sizzle Beef wrote:Read Old Man StarIts a good read and shows these jump gates, lore wise, could be built with few individuals and a small army of drones. Why they have so many lights and windows was perhaps a art gaff. Just like how they last reskinned the Drake to have fewer windows. Perhaps with stations and gates get v3ed the window situation will change. Can I just get the tl;dr version of the story plz? guy builds a stargate a century overdue after some very bad things happened to his ship. comes back to civilized space and creates CreoDron, Old Man Star is named after him. |
