You are the blue wizard! You must steal a scroll of teleportation and then escape.

I was the only one online.

Epic fail.

PffftHAHAHA.

Tell me that's a feature.

Sadness. But still easy when you're the only one online.

Hand teleporter theft? As the wiz? Easy even in a full server.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Depends, sometimes the captain hangs onto the teleporter, worse, occasionly they mis-use it and end up in space somewhere...

And no one ever uses the teleporter, much less check it to see if the hand teles been stolen.

If you gave them a biome then the Elves may indeed start turning up with Wagons in cages.
Well, it does tie in to the fact that personality-wise, dragons are nothing more than gigantic, scaly, firebreathing cats.

My guess is so that the AI can't just trap people there during Malfunction rounds by shutting off power to the teleporter/power from the engine.

Clearly, but a suggestion for the AI - perhaps make the network topology much stronger and switch from a very, very fragile tree, and thus to switch it to something more robust, like, say, at least a partially interconnected mesh between the routers, if not fully. That kind of centralization not only is unrealistic for a spacecraft that will realistically face impacts on a regular basis (one bad strike will cripple the AI) but also is terribly poor practice for network topology in general, so yeah.

To be honest there's far too much centralization in the station, all and all.

Yeah. The engine should not be the center of attention, the command room and AI should be!

And *if* there is any choke point in the network that is the only way between major sections, it should only be *within* the AI's room, to discourage isolating the AI from the network easily.

The engine should definitely be at the center of the map. It's the most power efficient and we can't have meteors hitting it first thing or syndi blowing holes into it.
