ofcourse, it still needs a bit of tweaking and touching up, and details, but thats the general shape with which i was thinking of going. the textures i will use are going to be ones already present in the mod, so no worries there, though i -did- consider making a new custom set of textures for gallia in a style that would hardly seem... "freelancerish", but thats for later.
ive made the entrance hole slightly wider than these images show (i will post updated pictures tomorrow when i get back home to my own pc), and now it can fit a zoner juggernaut through it, with a bit of room for movement if say, the jugg was bumped by some npc ship, but its not -too- big of a gap.
Nope. so far i do not know how to do animations, hence the reason for it being an open JG unlike the vanilla one. HOWEVER, if i get help on the animation part (i think a couple people may know how to work it to our favor) to work, i will rework the entrance to allow the opening and closing of the gate when being used etc.
furthermore, the model in the images is not the final product, ive done some changes to it, which ill post tomorrow when i get home.

I'd like to see a picture of this in game, replacing a normal Sirian jump gate...
I think the colours would need to be changed a little personally... NOTE: Your link in brackets is broken - end the [url] tag before the close bracket, it's annoying Photobucket.:nono:
If you animate it, rather than having the arms an a hinge like the vanilla gate, you should have those large trapazoid-ish sections slide open and closed on a rail. Just angle the arms inward, they already look like rails.
Just an idea.
