shiest_sunbeamThe teleporting stations have been added to the ship with little to no problems and the majority of the testing has yielded positive results. Mishaps and accidents did occur, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. There's been a Port Station added to each of the major levels on the ship and important locations for ease of travel. You'll need to pass by engineering to pick up the upgrade to your comm device to be able to use the teleporters as they are connected through the device and personalized to each individual crew member.
With all this said, there's a few things to keep in mind:
- Teleporters may still malfunction, but the chances are very low as long as you follow the procedures. So far the mishaps have caused the users to end up stuck in a wall, or a random location not previously determined. There have also been a variety of other minor accidents but the chances are much lower. For a detailed list, please ask and I'll list the ones that happened during testing.
- Make sure you mark exactly which Port Station you which to arrive to when using the Omnicomm to teleport. Not only for your safety but also because there is a cooldown period you need to wait after teleporting to the location. (Estimated cooldown time: 10 minutes)
- The Port Stations can also be used to jump from one Station to the other and they've been built to be able to comfortably teleport up to five people. Caution! While you could squeeze more into the pad, the risks of a malfunction increase greatly, so it is highly advised to not go beyond the capacity unless it's an emergency.
- Teleportation can only jump you and a your belongings along with a few extra packages as long as you keep them close to you when you input the request. For large amounts of supplies or cargo, please use the Gate system.
- If a mishap occurs and you end up in a bind, do not panic. The Omnicomm will be fitted with a distress signal in case you don't end up in a destination you wanted and are unable to call for assistance.
If you have any further questions about the use of the Stations and the upgrade to your omnicomms, please address them here or visit Engineering.
