So that's the statements that say it's impossible to build gate without Ageiras cooperation. Who wrote these infocards and when? Are these from 800 A.S. or are they still to be seen as current?
Maybe it's the info cards that need to be updated, since I don't believe the vanilla game is entirely wrong, giving Toledo, Malta and Crete docking rings. What's the current year in Discovery? Right, so why shouldn't anyone in the meantime have found a way to open earlier aquired white boxes? Think of those infocards as possible propaganda.
I actually love that you asked this. Because there is no vanila lore that explains Docking Rings outside of Ageira's grasp. Infocards can be pulled from vanilla and they will state the same.
"Jump Gate and Trade Lane Parts are exclusively manufactured at the Ageira Technologies facility in the Colorado system and are delivered to individual construction sites as necessary. These components are sealed in scanner-proof, tamper-proof white boxes that can only be opened with complex biometric keys. The boxes are also designed to detonate if opened outside of an authorized facility. Additional security measures are confidential, but Ageira has never failed to recover a missing white box."
Well, not impossible, but pretty unrealistic lore in my opinion.
