Okay, I'm not very good at design plans but here's how it's fleshed out.
The Time Travel Machine could be seperate or could just be added to the telescience computer. Either way it would have an option for setting coordinates and then an option to set the era underneath it. When you are ready to go you'd toggle the teleportation and you are launched to your destination. There should probably be a few maps/time periods to start with and variations based off the adventure zones and main station that already exists. Maybe to keep it unique specific actions could trigger funny things on the present station, an example being you killed the wrong monkey so now the crew all gets monkified.
Other Benefits of Addition: Other then having the bragging rights of having a time machine this could be an ongoing project with many sides to it. Special artifacts or missions for cargo to retrieve valuable materials. Maybe ancient plants for the botanists or long gone minerals for the mining crew. Chems that are not in existence in the present could be taken from the past or better ones from the future. Also sprite makers and lore writers could have an absolute blast with this stuff.
The different era's could include a prehistoric one, one with some sort of developing sentience, some past civilization at a medieval stage. Perhaps when setting the z level to the station and its future we'd teleport to find that the Syndicate took it over or that it's a vampire colony. Maybe a place like the void was once thriving and teaming with life. Maybe an ancient medieval alien civilization?
All my ideas are pretty okay I guess but I dunno, it would be really cool to basically have Stargate stuff happen with more grandiosity.
