At the beacon there is a [[deadspace]] acceleration gate, which is restricted to hulls of [[Tactical Destroyers|tactical destroyer]], [[cruiser]] (including [[Strategic Cruisers]]), [[battlecruiser]], and [[battleship]] size. Battleships of the [[Marauders|Marauder]] type are excluded. The beacon is surrounded by a “non-interactable object” which will decloak any ship and is a bit over 100 km in diameter, centered on the beacon itself. | ||
The gate leads to a second deadspace pocket that contains the physical ESS tower itself. Along with the standard deadspace restrictions, the ESS tower is surrounded by a 75km-radius Warp Interdiction field which further disables: | The gate leads to a second deadspace pocket that contains the physical ESS tower itself.

As a result, after taking the acceleration gate to enter the ESS, the fastest way to escape is using an afterburner to burn the 75km distance to the field's edge. Entering an ESS therefore usually constitutes a significant commitment to holding the field, as all quick methods of leaving are disabled. Furthermore, as the ESS grid is considered deadspace, it is not possible to warp around inside it, even after leaving the interdiction field. | As a result, after taking the acceleration gate to enter the ESS, the fastest way to escape is using an afterburner to burn the 75km distance to the field's edge.
