I bought it.



The recharge is 30 minutes. I've not yet tested what "in range" is for teammates, so I'm not sure if they have to be beside you, inside the same zone, what.

I'll enjoy it, but I wish the recharge was faster considering the cost. 15 minutes would be ideal.

I'm guessing the transport is that vehicle. Who gets to control it? If it gets destroyed, do all the occupants get defeated?

It's not controllable or destroyable. The icon for it is the same as a vanity/buff pet. You click it, it summons the vehicle, then the vehicle gives a teleport prompt. You and your teammates (within 60' if I'm reading this right) get a teleport prompt. Then you are teleported to the team's active mission door. When you get there there's no flyer, it's gone.

Neat, will be using it for RP purposes.

One bug: You can't link the power in chat.

I just wanted to make sure it was not based on the number of charges. I can stand a time limit, but I won't buy consumables.

It's permanent and account wide for all characters.

It's just like the Mission Teleport that came with the Mac/Valkyrie Edition/pack. The only difference is that when activated a vehicle shows up and provides a TP prompt for 4-5 minutes to all teammates.

Haven't tried it on live, but when I tried it on Beta it seems like repeats the teleport prompt over and over at regular intervals for a set period of time. If you're in range of the transport when it pulses, you'll get the prompt to be teleported to the mission door. If you're NOT in range, you just need to get close enough to it and then wait for the next pulse, which will bring up the prompt.

I don't know if it disappears when the power's owner zones, but I suspect it will. So people will probably need to follow Ouroboros Portal etiquette with it... place down the transport, wait for everyone who wants to use it to go through, and then once everyone else is in, you go in last.

Yes that sounds smart as well would have figured it out eventually. (Edit: Timer works ship stays in place even after the owner ports out with the first pulse.)

I still wish it was customizable be cool to have it in SG and camo colors.
