I dont think that gating should use the same or even more turns than
jumping.

For gates you have an hughe investment of money to get a gate
established, you have a base on both ends, you need to stock them, its
your own territory more or less, you are less flexible than in jumping.
For slow connections its the only way to play the game anyway ... by
cutting the amount of trades one can make in a day, down to 50% or even
less in relation to a jumper, seems not appropriated to me.

Some races have no jump trade ship at all. Missjumping is a low
percentage chance anyway.

If you like to tweak on turns lower the turn consumption of jump
traders, probably TD dependend or cargo dependend.

Also there is still the idea floating to reduce missjump likelyhood in
case you have a base or a drones close to the destination ....

Well, it makes no sense to me to increase turn max every game, turns per
hour every game and then to increase turn consumption just to increase
turn max etc. again a game later :-)

I don't think it will be popular to increase turn consumption for gates
...
