Is the Gateway Portal really not in orbit above the sun?
 * It is hovering, not in orbit. Orbit means it would be traveling along with the planets. Sdkphoenix (talk) 15:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a geosynchronous orbit to me. Perhaps that would be a more accurate term than "hovering"? Davekraftt (talk) 15:28, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * To be in geosynchronous orbit, it would appear to not be moving when on said planet looking up, however from another point in the system, it would appear to be orbiting. No matter where you are in the system, the satellite is stationary over the northern pole of the sun, so hovering seems appropriate to me. Sdkphoenix (talk) 15:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Discoveries - Gateway Network
May I suggest moving Gateway Network" between "Miscellaneous Discoveries" and "Historical Probes". I feel like the Gateway Network stuff can be a major spoiler whereas thing like "Satellite Wrecks" and "Miscellaneous Discoveries", are not significant spoilers.   Perhaps the spoiler warning should be only with the "Gateway Network" section?  Perhaps the "Gateway Network" section should feature one of those collapsable spoiler alerts? Just trying to see the wiki from the eyes of a curious new player looking for a few answers. Davekraftt (talk) 15:33, 28 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I think that the use of spoiler fits for the whole page, as some players may not wish to be spoiled about wrecks or what they could contain. And personally, I think with how important the Gateways are it should be more prominent than busted satellite pieces. Overall the whole page needs a rework, as some things don't exist anymore and info is outdated, such as the resource pods, which I will remove and make a note on the research aids page about them.

 * Yes, Gateways are an important part of the game, but I would hate to be the gamer, innocently looking for a certain discovery, only to have Gateways ruined by what they accidentally saw. So whatever plans you have for the Discoveries page, consider that. Davekraftt (talk) 21:21, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
