What is it: A set of two quantumly entangled wormhole generator installation that allow infantry and vehicles passing through to teleport between the two, and also allows infantry to teleport to any friendly drop uplink currently deployed. Because they are a quantumly entangled set, hacking one means you hacked both. Drop uplinks are wormhole technology according to the description, so it stands to reason that a wormhole installation would be able to connect with them.

How it would work:

Go into the swirling gate of light at jump link installation A, and you will see what appears to be a spawn screen. You can select between any active drop uplink on your team, AND jump link installation B. Teleporting to the selected location should be instant.

Perhaps special variants of drop uplinks only will be compatible.

It should be noted that vehicles can only travel between the 2 jump link installations, and do not have the option of choosing a drop uplink as an exit.

You CANNOT travel back from a uplink to a jump link installation, you can only travel from jump link to a drop uplink (or the next jump link).

To mitigate camping of the the jump link installations by enemies, teleported players should have the temporary spawn cloak, and should spawn a certain distance from the gate in a randomized direction.

Why: The tactical value of teleportation is pretty obvious. The team which controls it will be able to cover more ground, and basically have a great shortcut. It would add a new dimension of usefulness to drop uplinks. Also, it would be AWESOME.

Advantages over just suicide:

Respawn NOT instant, while this is

Fitting is destroyed when one dies, fittings are NOT destroyed when one uses the jump link installations.

The idea I propose allows the vehicle to come out at the other jump link installation, suicide does not transport vehicles.

One jump link installation connects the path to the next one, and jump uplinks are not accessible as spawn points. This means being alive gives you a major tactical advantage in travel since you can travel between points that you cannot just respawn at.

To summarize, do it, its awesome.

EDIT: Should be MASSIVE and look like this http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/f_XpT8Haohc/hqdefault.jpg
