Sounds like a really good game in the making
k:
You already mentioned sattelites. Will there be (other?) orbital facilities in the game?
And I'm interested in the Hiver propulsion technology. From your site:

it may take them months or years, moving at sub-relativistic speed, to reach their destination. Once they arrive, however, the Hivers quickly set up a massive ring-shaped teleportation device. Should other Hiver ships choose to follow, they can travel instantly to the newly erected ring from any other ring in the Hiver empire.*

Does this mean that when a Hiver fleet moves, they slowly move a short distance out of a system, and then instantly teleport to their destination?
Or does it mean they first have to arrive to that other system, then build a gate there, and then being able to instantly teleport there?
And anyway, how does this work with alien systems? Is it possible to set up and guard a gate in a hostile system, for example?
