Armada 1 Transwarp Gate
The Transwarp Gate is the special weapon of the building with the same name of the game Star Trek: Armada. It is similar to a Worm Hole in, that units of any kind can traverse it in both directions and should not be confused with the similar Transwarp Drive. The Transwarp Gate is cast, having a limited life span. The use of it looks like this:
One side of the Transwarp Gate will always be at the location of the corresponding building. The other can be chosen rather freely on the map, just as long as it has already been explored at some point. A (probably unwanted by the game designers) side-effect of the use of the Transwarp Gate on a section of the map with a building placed is, that it lifts the build restriction (yellow grid), once turned off. This allows for buildings to be packed a lot closer to one another (but not with overlapping models). This special weapon is not researched, like usually, but automatically comes with a build Transwarp Gate station. The cost is accordingly for each gate being built.
