@sasapinjic & @An'shur -- You can also check ahead of time by looking at the map and seeing which way the lane indicator "flows". Whichever direction the lane indicator flows is the way the top ring of the lane goes.
On topic with this thread, I personally think house-specific gates and lanes are a wonderful idea. Ageira doesn't even have to be involved, necessarily; perhaps DSE wants some extra money and offers "renovation services". It wouldn't change the internals of the proprietary hardware in the slightest, except perhaps in the case of some of the motors in jump gates, which isn't even the important part. I'd absolutely love to see an updated, higher-quality version of the current, bland lanes and gates for the Independent Worlds and whatever might eventually be built beyond, too.
Also on a related note, Ageira and DSE have complained for years about the docking rings in the Omicrons. Is there any chance we might get specific docking ring models too, or at least an Edge Worlds docking ring for Malta and Crete?
