That's how I read it, teleport shot. I'm guessing the slight overshoot is what made you take some of the ship with you, as opposed to a standard feature.

Right then.

Now, can someone tell me how to add something to the player market on the wiki? Because I can't find how to add a line to the black/green box.

I bet the roll determinates how much is teleported. 1 would be very bad.

From looking at it in source view, try copy-pasting the last item's data, then replacing it with what you want it to say. If you're trying to use the VisualEditor, click on the arrow next to the "Edit" button instead and click the alternate edit option, then look for tabs that say "Source" and "Visual". "Source" view is just text.

I can add an empty line or fill your info in for you, instead, if you want.

Thanks, I hadn't tried the source tab yet. It should be good now.

Eh, I'm sure he has repair driods. I'm more concerned about getting back to the ship, to be honest.

Getting back is easy! Just try to stabilize and shoot at the ship.

Though, I wonder what happens if you miss and the shot flies off into deep space? Hmmmm.

Yeah, not even trying that. Deep space does not sound like a fun place to be. I'll leave this rifle for people with more shooty skills than Pan.

An interesting question might be is this laser just a rangefinder used to alter the parameters of the teleporter or is the impact point of the laser where you'll end up being? And is this a "push forward very quickly" or is it a true teleporter? You can test the first thing with the use of mirrors and the second thing by putting a layer of very sensitive sensors between you and your target.

Either way, this sounds like a very useful device. I bet you could sell it for more tokens than you bought it with. Or give it to Hephaestus for something more expensive.

Well. Imagine what you could do if it's a true teleporter.

"Hey open your mouth."

"What why?"

"Just say 'ahh'"

"Whatever. Aaaahhh-ghk"

Yeah, this thing seems really neat, but I'm not touching it any more with my shitty con skill. I already put it up on the player market should someone else want to buy it though, together with the battle stims I had left.

Trading it with heph sounds interesting, but I can't really think of anything they've got to trade me for. Of course, if they could reverse engineer it, we could basically start zapping troops straight into UWM positions, so long as we've got line of sight.

Ohhh, that'd be so yummy! It would finally solve the problem with space boarding action - just hopefully it being scalable. And then it would probably be a real intelligence target for the UWM - as long as we manage not to let it fall in their hands, mass boarding our own ships and space installations is a much more difficult and dangerous project...
I am not a Hephaestian, but, were I one and were it allowed by Piecewise to attempt reverse-engineering it, I'd gladly ship off something nice for you in return - or just a Nyartifact coupon, for a straight exchange.
*I believe that researching and reverse-engineering explored Nyartifacts is allowed, or at least was allowed for certain artifacts (like the Beat-All Tek Ultraregen). I think it is exploring (aka figuring out the effects and the purpose) the Nyartifacts that has been strictly forbidden by Piecewise. Anyway, here is hoping it is decided on case-by-case basis and that this artifact is allowed to be researched into.

Well, if you're more into Uncon, and can get yourself a battlesuit, Anton could arrange a trade for a pair of Jet Magnums.

What are jet magnums? And I'm not going to get a battlesuit any time soon , seeing as I've already got a synthflesh body.
