Well, I'm not sure how to describe this problem, but the transwarp gate didn't open up a conduit.  Here's a screenshot of what I did.  I copied and modified the Borg transwarp gate and the Federation research center to build this.  But it never opened the gate.  I built the stock gate, and I successfully put it in a nebula that hides ships from sensors (which is where I wanted it).  Why didn't my modification work?

PS:  The "hub" can hold 6 individual gates, but none of them seem to work.

Nevermind.  I didn't give it enough special energy to create the conduit.  Works now.

Though I like what you are doing, have you thought of using this mod?  http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Borg_Transwarp_Hub;42384

It uses a better than stock model, and can have more than 6 different portals at once.

in theory i think in fo u dnt need to make t/warp hubs to be modular just 6 diff t/warp conduant weapons

hmm, I supose, but if you made it take special energy, it would run out really fast.  or, you could use that and just make it run out faster the more portals are active.  That way you could keep one open for a long time, but say 5 open for like 1 minute

that would make sence then you could give it its own research it add more generators(faster recharge or incresase in special energy

Well, it's not for the fleet-ops mod, those models will not be used for the final version, and the final version will hold at least 14 gates, maybe more if the 1.2.5 patch allows.  I'm currently not working on the new transwarp models yet.  However, those modified stock models will have to do.

It seems that it doesn't want to let me build all 6 conduit generators on one station.  I got up to 5 and it'll let me build 2 if I don't require other conduits to be built first, but so far, it hasn't let me build all 6.

I modified the techtree so that you have to build generator 1 before building generator 2, and generator 2 before building generator 3, etc.  Not sure why it's not cooperating.

EDIT:
Nevermind.  I guess it didn't like the code I put in the ODFs.  It works properly now.  And I know what to do when I build new models for the hub.  And build a new hub model.

I've tried that.  It makes a good sensor station, but that's all.  It takes forever for even a scout to get through one of the conduits and not all of the conduits are accessable.

This hub is still giving me some problems.  I'm not sure why though.  It will let me build 5 transwarp gates onto the hub, but it won't let me build the sixth gate.  It'll let me do it on a second hub, but then it won't let me build gate 4 on that hub.  Why can't I build that final gate?

Anyways, here are the files for the hub.  Unzip into your Armada 2 directory.  Back up the original files first.  You don't have to worry about an officer limit with this hub.

Oh, and you won't have any problems with getting a ship through one of the gates.
