Texas incident - darthbeck - 02-25-2009

it would be nice if someone wrote something about the texes incident, i have wundered about what happend eversince i first went thrugh texes

"the texes incident was an failed experiment by agiera technologys, the experement was a new form of jump gate, one that would not have to avoid certin obsticles, like suns and certin gas clouds. it would revouluotionize the economy of the whole serius sector.
but that never happend.
when they first gave the new gate full power. it exploded, sending dark matter and wreckage, all over the texes system, a side effect was a huge gravitron pulse, that hastioned the darkmatter clouds that were all ready floating to the gallileo system. the resulting radiation was so intense, that the texes system had to be sealed off for 8 months. the new gate design was quickly abandend. however, if you ask around the bars in texes, there are still people who think it was sabatoged. or worse yet: an accident caused by corner cutting from the manegers who wanted to finish the project faster. no ageira records about the ancident still exist that have not been editted."


sorry about my bad spelling :$

What you included it pretty much it, really.

Moved topic to a more appropriate location -DL

short and simple...

They wanted to build a jump gate that would connect texas and california. During the first activation of the gate, a dark matter cloud was passing between the two systems, and was sucked back through the jump tunnel, destroying the gate on the texas side and spreading dark matter throughout half of the system.

Why? Texas/Cali jump holes anyone?

They already exist.
Ageira is so stupid.:D

Because jump holes are unstable and dangerous. They are also hard to find. Also, the field containing the Texas-California hole is said to be the remains of the gate.

Actually (I think) the jumphole between California and Texas was spawned during the disaster.

Also, about JH's being unstable, well, they do link al the guard systems (basically carrying entire fleets through them)... I suppose that should be fixed in further versions (perhaps .. you know, using jumpgates?)


Texas incident - Guest - 02-25-2009

Guard systems are sometimes secret, so, letting ageira know their existance might get problematic.


Texas incident - Tenacity - 02-25-2009

Personally, I choose to believe that the jump hole was either created by the incident, or that jump gates are built over jump holes to stabilize them =P

It was to link to outside of Sirius to another star cluster. Not the system next door.
