Additional SG Teleport Beacons


Coolio

There should be the option of an additional base TP beacon (maybe costing 25k) for zones where there is a SG base portal.

Allowing a teleporter with this new beacon to actually teleport you next to the base portal, rather than the standard pre-set location within that zone.

You can use the Henchworth or whatever the auction is called portal to warp there , the portal is most of the time not far removed from it

I would, but the Wentworth/Black market TP is a one purchase, one shot deal atm.

My original suggestion was to allow all SG members even level 2's with minimal inf, the opportunity to zone in at the base portals rather than an obscure location within each zone...

However I suggested making the additional beacons more expensive in terms of prestige as it would be in addition to the standard 10k ones and obtained at the same time.

Also some newbie friendly SG's may prefer to have this option rather than having to player TP across a zone to safety.

A further additional beacon could be added to allow teleportation (for 10k to 25k) to Icon/Face subject to a SG member completing all Costume (and possibly both the Cape and Aura) Missions.

Aka an additional SG bonus, especially as it would save suicide missions for low level players adding costume pieces via inventions and having to travel to their respective Icon/Face.

Nice idea.. I would wish they first started to give more locations on one tp module possible though. Having only 2 on a module is cluttering bases with tp modules everywhere.


- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Liz_Bathory,
That may be worth suggesting as more advanced TP's which could come from the 2nd and 3rd tier workstations.
(Obviously each costing more than the last, and requiring that the base not only has the correct workstation
but also a version of the previous tier's tech/arcane teleporter.)

Tier 1: Max 2 beacons, size 1x1, Looks like standard TP.
Tier 2: Max 4 beacons, size 1x1, Looks like standard TP.
Tier 3: Max 8 beacons, size 2x1, Open topped TP with tech control panels/arcane glowing crystals at the sides.

Builders tip: Lower the celing above a TP by 1 step and you can place the beacons on the front of that wall above it. (Just mention to SG members to look above the teleporter to see the available destinations.)

Personally however I think the beacons should fit below a teleporter on the first step level.

Put TPs up two levels and put the beacons on the resulting step, with some ramps/desks you can then build a ramp up the resulting height, and still easily see the destinations.

LostNinja, I am aware of the floating option, however I was suggesting an out of the box solution, unlikely to get nerfed suggestion for the beacon placement, as floating base items may (or may not) get nerfed around I13/14.

Additional options could include a single beacon with dual destinations such as Atlas Park / Galaxy City, or a quad option to those same two destinations but with the base portal location as the secondaries.
