cogblap v0.98 | beta testing will be happening occasionally

[Cogwerks]

What I was thinking for my martian pod, as the chances of going off to another z-level and not being able to come back are quite high, that you could implement some sort of "warp-drive" that would teleport the ship back the the south edge of the station z-level.
For your pods, it would eat alot of fuel, so that is should only be used if in emergencies.
Thoughts?

Actually, what I'd been thinking about is sorta like that, but I don't like the warp drives. My plan at the moment was to put in a toggle and a signal check - have "navigation" tied to the communications system on the pods, and a button for scanning for the station. If the communications dish on the station is active, then the next time you cross a z-level you'll end up back at the station. If the communications dish is NOT active, all pods are effectively lost in space - but they'd still be able to find Mining.
