DUST Search - Teleportation Gernade

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.

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.

I know that something like this would come far into the future of the game because there is alreadya n incredible backlog of things CCP has to work on but it would be fun to hear from a Dev and have them say "hey, cool idea, i'll add it to our list and discuss it later!"

I like your thoughts on balancing. 3 seconds is a looooonngg time in game terms though, the fight would be long over by the time you used it so that might be a bit much. However, i see what you were trying to say. After we get all of our racial suits and the like something like this could just be a class specific module. Like a tech 2 logistics or scout suit that can only use the equipment.
