The Maze (10/10)

Access: Acceleration Gate, T2 Battleships & Below

Note: Each room of this complex includes multiple acceleration gates, of which only one is correct; a wrong choice will take you back to the beginning. To successfully navigate it, each time you warp in, position your camera above your ship, with the front of your ship facing the top of your screen at “12 o’clock”. The correct sequence of gates across the four rooms is 9 - 9 - 9 - 3. I recommend putting your character in a fleet and broadcasting the gate you take in increasing integers as you go deeper, so that if you make a mistake, you can simply take the gate with the highest number to continue to the next room.
