I agree Interplanetary teleportation should be off limits, unless it is only for those who hold wormhole chips.
Re-implementation of interplanetary teleports will kill any warp based transport businesses and the VR president will be sued for loss of income!
Not necessary!
Install a space TP net, where you can TP from one spacestation to any other (surely you need to discover the spacestations TP first to get it onto your space map, as discovering planet side TPs)
When using this station to station TP, charge a fee higher than comon MS tickets. It also has to be more expencive than warp taxi (Equus).
As this traveling would be faster than a warp, many surely will use it even at higher costs.
Others would refuse using it and take the cheaper Taxi services or MS.
Every PP also could add a TP to go from the planet to the spacestation conected to that planet. Same here, it has to be more expencive using the TP than flying with a Quad. (7 PED like the TP down to Caly from Foma/CP).
So everybody can decide himself, use the expencive TP or the cheaper taxi service or fly your own Quad/Sleip whatever!
A travel could look lilke that:
7 PED planet to space station - 20 PED station to station - 7 PED down to other planet
Sums up to 34 PED total, so taking a MS/Equus is an option. Takes some time even when ship got a warp, but cheaper than TPing. And there is still very cheap quad services, wich are even slower but a lot cheaper.
Then MA should move their asses and finally implement the space transport missions they announced with introducing the interplanetary auction transport fee. That offers the job space transporter, with the risk of beeing looted by pirates, what would be ok for me, as accepting the mission is free, so victim of pirate doesn´t lose that much. Mission rewards gets paid to the person who manages to deliver the package to its destination mission broker/terminal. Here it doesn´t matter if it is the person who accepted the transport or the pirat successful looted the package from the transporter. Mission has to be linked to the packed not to the avatar accepting it (think thats not that hard to code).
How to use the interplanetary TP fees, well could just be added to the transport mission funds, or be something completely new. As long as it gets cycled back into the economy I am fine with. Even if MA/PP take a small share from the TP fees to cover their costs/make profit (lets say 10%), I am still fine with it.
