Matter transmission facility. Allowing for instant transportation over short distances.

With access to io tubes, it becomes possible to equip spacecraft with transporters.

Commonly used to transport personnel and vehicles from a planet's surface to a spacecraft in orbit and vice versa.

For detailed information about how to use transporters, including manually using the console, see the Transporter Station page.

Spacecraft

When a spacecraft has crew operating the transporter station, it is possible to request a transporter beam from the ship. This is usually done on the crew channel.

A spacecraft with a working transporter does not require a door to the outside. In order to board a just-built ship with only a transporter, you need to use the transporter console either on a station, on another spacecraft that's already crewed, or in an airport terminal.

Space Stations

Hailing on the Communication's Hail channel will open private channel with all space stations in range. It is then possible to request a transporter beam on those channels if they have a working transporter.

Airport Terminal

An airport terminal may contain transporters depending on the building blueprint used.

The transporter station is not manned, but it is possible to request a transporter beam on the trade communication channel, which will automatically activate the transporter just like with a manned ship.

It is also possible to manually use the transporter station just like a normal transporter.

Requesting Transport Via Communications

An active transporter portal

The player can request a transporter beam using the button on the Comm (F3) window. They can be requested over any channel that a Transporter Station operator is listening on, whether it is Voice, Crew, Intercom, etc. Mainly used on the crew, trade, and hail channels to request a teleport from an NPC.

Depending on proximity to the requested transporter station, one of two windows will appear after pressing the Request Transporter Beam button:

From a distance

Only the option to "beam up" to the transporter will be available. This simply requires selecting how many transporter portals to place at the current location.

Requesting from a distance.

From nearby

When near a transporter station, more options will be provided to allow specifying a beam to specific buildings, landmarks, or co-ordinates. Pressing Beam Up will place the specified number of entry portals at the designated location, with exit portals on the console's transporter pads. Pressing Beam Down will instead place the specified number of entry portals on the console's pads.

A village destination selected after requesting while nearby.

After an Avatar collides with a portal, they will be teleported to the specified destination and the portal will vanish.

Transporter Types

There are 2 types of transporters.

Personnel Transporter

The personnel transporter is the default transporter type. It can transport any creature that enters the portals.

It requires transporter pads to be associated with the transporter station in order to function.

Vehicle Transporter

Vehicle transporters are used to transport vehicles to and from a spacecraft. Requesting a beam up while seated in a vehicle will inform the crew to beam up the whole vehicle into a parking spot of the vehicle's type.

The vehicle transporter does not require transporter pads, instead it requires the spacecraft to have parking spots for the individual vehicle type.

Do note that the vehicle transporter can also transport creatures, just like the personnel transporter. This essentially makes it a straight upgrade with no drawbacks.
