Teleman needs a thirty second delay

[Lord_earthfire]

do you, or have you seen people, use telesci before?
the power already goes out extremely fast if you're not rationing it and noob scientists are always complaining about the power being out and hardly any of them know how to replace a cell

I am very aware of telesci usage. This is why at the beginning i written down the ways of countering the telesci usage, because i know how to nerd this mechanic and thus the limitations of it.

The only times when the power goes out is when someone uses the portal mode too much or the engine is not set up. Making the second case more impactfull is why im suggesting the power drain increase. when the power is not set up, or you are not on-station and have enough power on hand, you shouldn't expect to use power-hungry mechanics like telesci.

Require an actual APC so you can't build in perma-powered areas?

Right, we have the problem of azones and offstation networks to have magic bullshit-power. That honestly needs to be looked at.
