Note: The technology [[Planetary Ionosphere Utilization_(Tech)|Planetary Ionosphere Utilization]] reduces the line-of-sight barrier to maintaining a continuous connection, presumably by bouncing the energy beams off of the planet's Ionosphere to reach the receiver wherever it may be. This is, in effect, the same way that Radio waves can travel over the horizon, on real-world Earth. For this to work, the [[Stars and planets|planet]] must have an atmosphere, and the [[Ray Receiver]] must be supplied with a [[Graviton Lens]]. This does not completely remove the line-of-sight requirement, as there is still a dead spot on some planets. The size of the dead spot appears to depend on the distance of the planet to the star. | Note: The technology [[Planetary Ionosphere Utilization_(Tech)|Planetary Ionosphere Utilization]] reduces the line-of-sight barrier to maintaining a continuous connection, presumably by bouncing the energy beams off of the planet's Ionosphere to reach the receiver wherever it may be.
