Group gates

Three gates are flown with a group: Quarantine Zone, Hades and LOW (Lord of War). Each has its own module, and all three are Beta.

They work the same way: the ship waits at base until its group is big enough, then goes in together and fights it out.

#Getting a group together

Groups are set up in each config's Group category (PET, group and ship):

1. Give the pilots who fly together a tag.
2. On the leader's config: Invite those tags.
3. On everyone else's config: Accept invites, Only from the same tags.

#Settings every group gate has

#Quarantine Zone

Waits for the group, opens the zone with an Immunizer CPU, fights it out and collects the oil.

• Keep CPUs: stop entering when Immunizer CPUs run down to this many.
• Pause after a run: seconds to wait before going again.
• Move after start / Start position: spread the group out when the zone starts, instead of all stacking in one spot.
• Boss safety band: how far to hold the Overlord.
• Attack Plague Rocket: shoot it even when not the leader.
• PET: keep it in during the fight, send it out on the Overlord in a chosen gear.

#Hades

Builds your own Hades and flies it with a group, keeping everyone on the same stage.

• Building: spins for Hades parts and places the finished gate. Off until you switch it on, and spinning spends uridium.
• Wait for players (leader): wait outside until every invited pilot has joined.
• Kick a pilot on another stage / Invite back after (leader): keep everyone's Hades on the same stage.
• End gate config / Switch to end config under: change setup when the Emperor Kristallon gets low.
• Polarity safe distance: how far to stay from ships with the other polarity.
• Under Sticky bomb: ISH on a sticky bomb and ISH after (milliseconds) fire an instashield when one sticks to you; EMP on a sticky bomb fires an EMP 3 seconds after it sticks, when no instashield is ready.

#LOW (Lord of War)

Waits for the group, goes in behind the leader and fights it out.

• Wait for all members: do nothing inside until everyone is on the map.
• Under Century Falcon: Orcus ability under, ISH under and EMP under use the Orcus or Berserker ability, an instashield or an EMP when your hull drops under that number while fighting it.

#Rules it always follows

• Waiting for a group, the ship waits at its own company's x-1 station and moves to a new spot every 10 to 20 seconds.
• It never invites itself or another of your accounts running the same pilot, even if a tag names it. Invites are answered as soon as they arrive.
• The same pilot is invited again only after a minute. Leave when alone is on by default: the ship leaves after 20 seconds alone, but never while an invitation it sent is still open.
• Dying ends the current run.
• Quarantine Zone: at most 3 Immunizer CPUs are tried at the portal, and it also gives up if a CPU was spent and two jumps in a row go unanswered. After that it stops trying until you restart the module.
• Hades: the leader removes a member who is on a different stage for 5 seconds outside the gate, or 30 seconds inside it, and holds the stage up to 5 minutes for a member who was invited back.
