Teleporter (Apocalypse): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:42, 21 June 2022

The Aliens have developed a very effective teleportation system that allows a craft to jump instantly over short distances. The unit is automatically activated when a vehicle is under fire and receiving damage. Its offensive use is limited because the destination cannot be controlled accurately.

A version of a Personal Teleporter but made for UFOs.
The Teleporter will move any craft instantaneously once hull damage is detected, but to a random location and distance which cannot be chosen or predicted. The teleporter is an escape mechanism!
The random destination of the teleportation is useful within Mega-Primus due to the size of the city, whereas using this exotic device as a quick escape tactic in the Alien Dimension may teleport your damaged craft closer to other UFOs thus, attracting more alien craft into the fray.

-The vehicle version of the teleporter is a standard sized 2&times;2 module that can be plugged into vehicles that allow the vehicle to teleport.

-The teleporter regrettably cannot be used for the same tactical advantage that is enjoyed by the agent-portable [[Personal Teleporter]]. The destination of the teleport is unpredictable and the teleport mechanism only activates when the ship is badly damaged and all shields are lost. The teleporter is therefore an escape mechanism.
+The random destination of the teleportation is useful within [[Mega-Primus]] due to the size of the city, whereas using this exotic device as a quick escape tactic in the [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse) |Alien Dimension]] may teleport your damaged craft closer to other UFOs thus, attracting more alien craft into the fray.
-The randomness of the teleport works well in the environs of [[Mega-Primus]] due to the smaller scale and reach of the X-COM/Alien air conflicts. In the [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse) |Alien Dimension]], with enemy ships everywhere, the unpredictability may throw the damaged ship into even greater danger.
