The range and distances involved with voidgates are not relevant.
What is being discussed is: p196 "they have a Launch capacity in the same way as troopships of other races and they use the same rules for when they may launch"
The issue is that this states the mothership has to follow the same rules to launch as a troopship.
Group A. Believes that this is referring to the generic launch rules and not the only rule specific to troopships and that is that from Bulk landers which require low orbit or atmosphere (page 63) They believe that because shaltari launch gates not bulk landers that the only specific rule for troopship launches (bulk landers) does not apply to shaltari.
Group 1. Believes that there is no reason to reference troopships at all if a mothership only needs to meet generic launch requirements. And therefore the only reason to state they follow troopship launch rules is to have the mothership obey bulk lander orbital layer restrictions as well.
With both groups more than happy that the voidgates need to be in the appropriate layer for the landing of the gate (dropship equivalent that also follows rules for dropships) and therefore the voidgate and distances are not relevant.
