Now as some kind of land-based acceleration gate, it makes slightly more sense. Could be something that larger atmospheric craft use to get around as part of a network.
a jump gate connects two points in space, correct? setting these up from a corp's home world to an active front(say, an opponents world you want to capture) could significantly reduce cost from travel lost clones. so it could be a planetary installation with an eye to troop movement.
though, an acceleration gate could prove interesting as it may just herald larger maps.
or, it could just be more useless visual fluff/another sniper tower for fatties with forges/actual snipers. |

Anyone else reminded of Turbine Concourse from Killzone 3
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110306111547/killzone/images/7/77/Turbine_concourse.jpg
Sort of similar looking and it wasn't used for anything remotely similar to what we have been suggesting this is.

Really curious as to what the structure really is and if it will have any actual role in the future map.

There is no direction in space. Also, no one can hear you scream |

It is 100% Amarr technologi, and if you look close it has yellow\gold base colour... and if it's Amarrian it must be a power plant outpost. |

I think it is an element of Planetary Interaction infrastructure called "link". It is a system for transferring matter around planet.

And pictured in OP, looks rather Caldari to me... |

You're not in space. You're on land. And while land is in space, land spins. If it were a jumpgate, it would send you a great distance at in whatever direction the planet decided to point it to at the time. Can't say it would be a very good jumpgate.
And I'm not sure any of us still scream anymore. I think the fear of death gets a little old after the first thousand clones. |

Yep, might be a link, but looks way too big if based on description, even if upgraded 10 times. That thing on screenshot looks alot bigger than MCC. |

It looks somewhat Jove-ish, but is probably Caldari |

Considering it's been stated that the new outposts being worked on are the caldari research lab and production facilities and the tweet says this is a screenshot from testing a new map, it really only makes sense that this is a caldari structure. |

Now I feel about silly assuming it is a jump gate in hindsight. It makes far more sense that it may be an acceleration gate or perhaps a highway system - you can see up to three more in the background so perhaps a "road" in the sky? |

Looks like a structure for guiding resource haulers to an outpost |
