Re: [Psionic Powers] Gestalts Question
It sort of depends on the feel you are going for.
I could see no penalty, just needing to roll each second/minute/or other time period to remain in the Gestalt besides the roll to accomplish anything; a low flat penalty, say -2; using the distance modifiers as the penalty; etc. -Dan |

If you don't mind breaking contact for a second before reestablishing it (that is, you're not in the middle of doing anything that crucial), then no special rule is needed. After being forced out, you use your next action to join right back up, telepathically. If you can't afford to lose contact for even an instant, then I'd call that a psi technique that added Reflexive, for 2 FP and a -4 penalty to your Telesend or Telespeak skill roll to get back in. You'd also have to make a second gestalt roll, as usual, unless you had Gestalt Familiarity.

Re: [Psionic Powers] Gestalts Question
Personally I prefer the non contact gestals of Anne McCaffery's Tower and the Hive series

Re: [Psionic Powers] Gestalts Question
Haven't read those, but it sounds like you'd want to use telepathy to join a gestalt. No contact needed.

Yep, they can also gestalts with generators to supply the FP for heavy loads.

Re: [Psionic Powers] Gestalts Question
Ok, I've figured this out myself, one roll to "touch" the group (telesend/telespeak) and another roll to reestablish membership. The latter can be any Telepathy skill, the former must be Telesend, Telerecieve or Telespeak. I also found the Reflexive enhancement. :)
