I looked around and could not find the answer to this question(I do not have a functioning Help file). When overgating which gate is used to calculate the mass? I know, or think I know, that one of the gates is used to calculate the affect of distance overgating and the other is used for mass, but which is which?

[Note I'm correcting this post so I don't confuse any more people than I already have. I apologize for speaking without double checking my facts]
In calculating mass over-gating, you use both gates used for the jump. So if you have a 200KT ship going from a 100/250 to a 150/600, you would use the 100/250 to calculate damage (25%) and add an additional 6% for the 150/600 gate for a total 31%. This also contributes to your chance of ending up in the void (if you are not IT). For distance over-gating, only the sending gate is used to calculate damage and void losses.

Anyway, does sending a 200kt ship from a 100/250 gate to 150/600 gate yeild a different amount of damage then sending the same ship through the same gates but in the opposite direction?

I does not matter, the damage is the same.

Damage will be different only if you are sending them more then 250 lys, then sending from the 150/600 will give lower damage.
