Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - Sov - 01-07-2020 Add a PDA app available to all scientists or other means that allows them to recall the long-range teleporter without needing assistance from the AI or a crew member This will further lower the barrier to entry to exploration, and remove a source of unfun - getting stuck somewhere Spoiler! RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - Urlance Woolsbane - 01-08-2020 There is a porta-a-sci remote PDA app which already serves this purpose admirably. RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - Sov - 01-08-2020 That works but the pda app is only owned by RD and AI who may not want to share it if they’re using it already. It can only have a single home location after all RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - UrsulaMejor - 01-08-2020 I think it would be good to create a physical remote to remotely recall that long range teleporter. as far as an app goes, I second the idea that the existing portasci app already suits than need. RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - polivilas - 01-08-2020 Why is this a problem with long range tele but not telesci? RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - Tarmunora - 01-08-2020 Because the long range teleporter is tied to the QT in mining (on space maps), as opposed to the science teleporter, and telesci can create 2-way portals (if they aren't worries about draining the APC) RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - DasBrain - 01-09-2020 Also, a knowledgeable mechanic can control the telescience teleporter with mechcomp - and therefore remote control of it using a PDA if he goes nuts. Which is not possible with the long range teleporter. RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - Zamujasa - 01-09-2020 compromise: add an egg timer to the LRT that recalls after X minutes don't miss your ride RE: Ability to remotely recall the Long-range teleporter by yourself - DasBrain - 01-10-2020 I love the egg timer idea. You should be able to synchronize the clocks, so you know how much time you have left. Also, a way to use the LRT as mechcomp component would be interesting - two inputs: send, and receive. Location is specified in the signal content. This would allow a knowledgeable Mechanic to build a small system so people can use PDA messages to recall from the LRT, therefore improving cross-department work.
