Ender Pearls?

Teleportation is pretty not-justiable lore-wise. (Just lag-wise, apparently. ;))

As it is, drop uplinks kinda spit in the face of New Eden canon at the moment with their current functionality.

KInda. It's not like we have good working wormholes in EVE yet. Oh wait, there's jump drives.

I'd like this on a scout specifically. I don't think a heavy should be able to use this to get right on top of you and waste you instantly with his HMG. At least with a scout they'd be squishy as hell so you'd be able to dunk them if they were dumb enough to throw it right next to you.

Also, it should take about a half a second to work and be loud as a grenade so it's used more defensively/tactically as opposed to closing the distance to shotgun someone.

ALSO, you should only have one and it should not be resupplyable. Also it probably would make more sense as an equipment being as it is non-combat oriented really. I don't see it getting any use at all if it takes up your only grenade slot which is important to a lot of scouts...

A way to make it, in my eyes, acceptable for all classes to use, is it should take a certain amount of time based on their scan profile. Roughly 3 seconds for heavy (it'll still be faster than sprinting), 2 seconds for assault/logi, and a half or a full second for scouts. All of this in place just to make sure it's used tactically as a utility instead of a means of teleporting on enemies to dunk them instantly.

What do you cuties think?

No thanks

Incredibly thoughtful input! Perhaps you would like to elaborate?

There would be so many uses for this my head is reeling at the possibilities.

Imagine cooking a timed variant as an enemy unaware of your presence turns the corner, throwing the nade up in the air and teleporting into midair, the enemy walks right under you as you engage dampeners, slam into his face and knife him to kingdom come.

I understand that it could possibly be abused, but I reckon these grenades should be highly visible (bright orange or something) and start glowing if someone is warping through. Graphically, I imagine the person teleporting would disintegrate into particles which zoom towards the grenade, then reform. This would make sense with the above poster who suggested heavies take longer than others; they take longer to disintegrate.

And imagine if passengers could teleport up to my dropship and hop in without me even landing.... DAMNIT I WANT THESE GRENADES!

What if, whereever you throw the grenade, there needs to be NO obstacles between you and the grenade, or you can't teleport? For example, lets say when you throw the grenade a visible, glowing line appears between you and it. If an enemy sees that line, and steps in it, the connection is broken and you get a 'teleportation denied' or a cheesy variation of the vehicle deployment error: 'location inaccessible for teleportation'.

This would greatly limit their use in terms of getting over walls, but they'd still be awesome for jumping roofs and the like.

So i was playing the other night and for some reason League of Legends was seeping in to my brain and i got the idea for a "flash" type mechanic in Dust.

I think it could work with a grenade type item that when thrown your clone would teleport to the location the grenade lands giving you a chance to escape your enemy.

This item would be a 1 off, only 1 grenade per suit and perhaps not even able to be resupplied through nanites.


Could be cool and useful and honestly it could be balanced.
