Fair enough on the heat/pressure thingie and the range, but I’ve re-read the article several times now and am not seeing any mass capacity listed. What section is it located in?The mass capacity is included. Range I wanted reviewer to help me with. The heat and pressure distribution are handled by the pads, that's why they are super heated afterwards but not before. I'll add whatever the reviewer wants me to add.
Haven't seen Soban's wiki on my life but the capabilities for this are actually quite minimal. I explained how I had this idea back in September so idk man.
The article also says to do this you would have to bunnyhop planets! It's not straight from Yamatai to Veronica! So I think you're misunderstanding the article!(An example from when I looked at the article is from the Yamatai Star System to the Veronica Star Star System).

I agree wholeheartedly, as I’ve always assumed that things heavier then power armors couldn’t be teleported due to prohibitive energy costs - because the energy costs associated with teleporting an object increases exponentially with every added kilogram past a certain point or something - thus I think that there really ought to be a community-wide discussion on where and how far teleportation technology should be taken prior to this submission being approved. That’s not a slight against you, Ametheliana - I just think community-wide consensus ought to be achieved before such a drastic change to the setting (which something like a potentially system-to-system teleporter capable of teleporting starships is, in my opinion) is made.This one is teleporting whole starships. I won't say that it's not where we seem to be taking the technology, given that in the last week all of the articles being floated are scaling teleportation up in some significant way. However, I do think we should consider if we want starship scale teleportation or not. Additionally, this seems to also do teleportation from one entire system to another entire system. (An example from when I looked at the article is from the Yamatai Star System to the Veronica Star Star System). That is a massive revolution in travel times that needs to be considered carefully. Frankly, I'm wary about both aspects here. That said, if the community wants to change them, then that's ok but we shouldn't do so blindly.
Unless I’m missing something, there’s no mention of that in the article whatsoever.They absolutely do require a receiving pad.
I'm curious as to why they're limited to just an hour by FTL of range? It doesn't mention that in the article, so far as I can find. There's not a mention of range at all, FWIW. Re: grid squares, a grid square's only 8LY, and a 50LY range covers about half of the mapPlus, you would only be able to send them far enough out that you'd be an hour behind. I'll be honest, I was thinking a grid square or just more (around 50 LY) was my estimate for how far they should go. That isn't deep space probe territory at all.
I don't know if it's specified in the article, but I got the impression that a receiving pad was required, hence my supposition of FTL probes designed to build themselves into a receiving pad for a waiting fleet (I personally don't know that there's any reason not to do this with the industrial capabilities of SARP nations, since you can basically make anything when you start from energy-matter conversion)unless these things specifically require a receiving pad
I won't say any more after this, scout's honor, but I did want to make sure the picture was clear on how much time you save. The time savings aren't just in instant transit, it's in not having to get out of range from the star before you go FTL, and then the time it takes to get to your destination from the edge of the star system, which can save anywhere between 4-6 hours to nearly a day depending on how you define that FTL limit. These base savings are regardless of transit range, of course, and the savings compound as range increases.You're not cutting out days or months, the pads are cutting out a matter of minutes
