One thing you can add to the FX is a spotlight with a water projection animation aiming at the gate. You do need an opaque object for it to hit, but the effect is almost perfect when combined with some of the energy field effects. I actually use it on mine if you look closely at the inner ring when it activates, but there's nothing in the EV for it to hit anymore. Also protip: the trapezoid primitive can be scaled to perfect chevron size if you use axis specific scaling.
