really, stand on the teleporter pad in the syndicate shuttle, teleport to a random space square nearby to the station, and you can teleport back whenever but you must stay still for e.g. 30 seconds

Nah, that'd be a bit overpowered, I think. What about giving the syndicate pod a device that allows it to warp back to the syndicate hangar immediately? I don't think there's a beacon there it can go back to, so that would let the syndies quickly escape back to their shuttle as long as they could get in the pod.
