So i built a gate, my outpost from which i intend to transfer is 38 ticks away from colony and about 36~34 ticks away from gate. is it the 24 tick limit(i don't think so) because i don't see anything below the launch button when you select your squads(there's supposed to be some jump to gate thing i think).

There is a 24 tick travel distance limit. You can't travel any further than that at once. Which is why you should build gates a shorter distance from each other, less than 24 ticks apart.

damn... oh well ty

Also, it a bad idea to build gates more than 6 -8 ticks apart. Because they can be easily jammed and taken, since most ppl leave them unguarded thinking they'll just zip there if need be. A general rule is if you couldn't defend a nuke there you shouldn't have a gate there.
