Acceleration Gate[]
When your empire grows, your hyperjump range increases and you start using bigger (slower) ships, moving your fleets around will start to cost a lot of time. This structure makes hyperjump travel faster.
In-game Description[]
The Acceleration Gate is a special building that increases the speed of spaceships leaving the system and halves the time required to prepare for hyperjumps.
Requirements[]
In order to build an Acceleration Gate, Acceleration Gate research has to be finished.
No other Buildings are needed to construct an Acceleration Gate.

Bonuses[]
The following Technologies affect the properties in above table:
- Module Constructions +40% to construction speed.
- Composite Constructions +50% to building durability.
Note[]
A bonus of "100% Acceleration" means your fleet will travel twice as fast, halving transit time; an Acceleration Gate 10 does not grant instantaneous travel.
Only works on outbound traffic; if the destination your fleet is going to has no Acceleration Gate, the return trip will take the regular amount of time.
