How do you want warp gates/FTL to work?

Epstein Drives When?

If they were to add warp gates, I want gates to be:

• Expensive to build
• Expensive to run
• Take a long time to build
• Have a very large minimum size (if warp gates are able to have variable size)

You're removing an entire aspect of gameplay, and having cheap teleportation doesn't seem right.

By having these three attributes you would guarantee that:

• Gates would only be created by wealthy and well defended organizations/players.
• There would be a limited number of gates in the game.
• Gates would have value. You're not just looking at something that was haphazardly whipped up, you're looking at something that took a multitude of players and took them many days or weeks to build.

Since we don't know exactly how it would be yet this is quite an interesting take to it. It may turn out great or terrible depending on how it all goes to show

FTL drives would be really cool. you can jump to anywhere from anywhere and arrive in a couple of seconds! it should be expensive on fuel and produce lots of heat though for balancing. a startup phase would be good, too
