Lagrange Point Conduit Stations

Increases the efficiency of power transfers in the whole system.

By taking advantage of the natural 'buoyancy' of objects in Lagrange points, the efficiency of power transfer between multiple orbits is increased. This can take multiple forms. The idea is to use hyperspace corridors to transfer the energy. By exploiting the (normally undesirable) properties of hyperspace near gravitational masses the corridors can be made to 'lock' on to possible exits, or anchors. However, the continuous transfer of such amounts of is only computationally feasible if the distance is very small. Multiple Lagrange stations will be constructed to offer these hyperspace anchors and to direct the energy to the next anchor.

Normally, power transfer is done on a 2 → 1 basis. With Lagrange Point Conduit Stations, Power transfer in the whole system has increased efficiency. No power is spent transporting power, so for every 1 sent to another orbit, 1 arrives.

The construction of Lagrange point conduit stations costs 500 + 1000 + 1000.

The Lagrange point conduit Stations take up 1 Orbital Capacity in every planetary orbit in the system.
