| Observation Anchoring is a phenomenon experienced between an observer and an object when traveling through nullspace. As long as an observer is consciously perceive another object, it will remain within that frame of reference. However, if the object drifts too far away to where the observer can no longer perceive it, the object can never be observed again. | Observation Anchoring is a phenomenon experienced between an observer and an object when traveling through nullspace.

| - | For example, if two ships enter a Gate at the same time but at different velocities, they would eventually drift apart enough to where they can no longer observe each other. Even if the ships accelerate towards each other, they will never find each other again. | + | For example, if two ships enter a gate at the same time but at different velocities, they would eventually drift apart enough to where they can no longer observe each other.

| This phenomenon is beneficial in that gates allow two-way traffic without any risk of collision. However, objects lost within the superluminal tube can never be found until they eventually drift out through the gate exit. Gate traffic controllers still have to be aware of inbound and outbound traffic as collisions at the event horizon can still occur. | This phenomenon is beneficial in that gates allow two-way traffic without any risk of collision.
