I have some suggestions to improve this mod:

STARGATE:
1. Shorten the time you have to wait to 'force disconnect.' (3 sec should suffice, 6 sec currently seems like forever)
2. add a force disconnect button to the remote please, jumping off a dino to close the gate can be a dangerous thing if you need to escape back through the gate with some degree of haste (3sec timer still applies)
3. i haven't used the shield much, but shouldn't there be a 'send shield code' or similar button ON the remote?
4. Allow the use of the Keyboard NUM PAD with the dial menu/keypad screen (may have to ask ark devs to add this?)
5. add the other galaxies' stargate models! (ori, original, (current) Atlantis
6. do NOT REQUIRE the mod to be first in the mod list in order to use the dhd. this mod does not change the primal data, so why is this a requirement?
7. increase the range at which you can use the remote (50meters should be plenty, the current 5-10 is restricting while riding larger dinos.
8. add a stargate foundation/platform models! (full gate entry ground/floor/foundation spaces as seen in the shows/movies)

Q. what the heck are the 'dial 1-10' options on the radial menu for? and why are they even needed? how do you use them? (with a remote this seems like a useless feature)

RINGS:
1. add more ring platform styles, the flat black model is rather plain and may be ugly to some folks. add the ori rings and platforms (use radial selection menu to change style?), original rings style, (keep the current 'black' model too). (that's all the models i can think of atm)
2. add ceiling rings
3. Re-define the ring link-ing algorithm. it should find the nearest VERTICALLY ALIGNED ring before it finds the closest horizontal ring. IE: it would search a radius of 1 meter horizontally and up/down (max distance), first, then 2meters radius horizontally, etc.... vertically close rings should have priority over horizontally close rings.
4. add ring activation options (use Stargate remote to activate? or a new remote/device?)
5. add destination selection to ring platforms, so multi-level rings can be setup
6. add ring platform foundation models!

Great mod! keep it up! :)
