Ragnok: Brilliant! I have so wanted to have StarGates too. The possibility of sending troops and fighters (really anything small and reassemble-able) would absolutely increase their value.

Ragnarok, that would be like an invisible maze of nodes linked to planets that only reveal themselves after you searched the ruin or facility. I like the idea. Would add to the importance of troops.

It would be nice if each planet had a "phone number" a la the TV show. The number would be equivalent to the planet's location in space (i.e. you couldn't change it) and would become known to whomever builds the star gate or holds the planet... You should be able to send the phone number to allies and enemies should be able to obtain it via espionage. Finally, it should function as a Space Port as long as the empire in question has a StarGate in contact with one of their planets that is in a Space Ported system.
The only way to protect from enemy troops would be to disassemble the device - in SEiv that would be equivalent to destroying the facility I guess.
