Sheesh, you'd think being able to open a gate from any point closer than about 120% of the distance to far side of the moon to any other point at will would be enough for some folks.
No, I cannot change the shape. There has been some research done with other gate based tepeorts that indicates that messing with the gate size incurs a one way increase in the effort required, just as the distance also incures an increase in effort: It's just as hard for me to open a gat on the far side of a door that's right in front of me as it is to open one on the far side of the moon.
Instead, I've been working on translation: making gates that are not fixed to any object, but instead can sweep along; ideally snatching things up, or bad guys directly into holding cells (the old open a gate under thier feet gimick is good enough for the run of the mill villian, but we seem to always meet these bad guys who are unnaturally hyper relfexive even in the world of the Super Powered.
