I'm playing around on Nergal trying to learn. I've recently built two hyperspace gates on opposite ends of a single galaxy. I'm trying to transport resources from one hub planet to my home world. I have built a cargo ship and established a route between the two planets ( destination and source planets ). But I believe the cargo ship is traversing this route sector by sector.

Can anyone confirm that gate travel is not prioritized?

Am I setting up my route incorrectly?
