Short-ranged teleportation?

    Just an idea; there'd be a device that does a cool spacey (zwish!) sound, and you teleport to the cursor location... of course with a cooldown time, too. If you teleport into rock, well then, you are something I like to call dead.
    Feedback? Maybe creatures with this power too?! Ahhhh!!!

    Creatures with the ability to "Blink" around? Yeah, that could work - how about though, you need to trap/enslave a few of them, and have your scientists research their blink ability, then grant you a schematic to build an Accessory, that has that ability?

    The creature should be a boss then, since blinking would be an awfully good convenience to have.

    This is a good idea, you should post this in the suggestions section!

    I like the "trapping a creature" modification, but maybe you need a certain building material for the trap that would be hard to get until later on in the game? Possibly, these creatures with the said ability are naturally curious, passive creatures that "blink" close to you and start inching toward you, but as you go towards them quickly, they blink away again, until you construct a trap box that catches them as they walk upon its trigger.

    Also, I guess I meant more of an exploring utility rather than an instant "blink", where it has a charging time (maybe a charging of 1 second) and then you can blink a certain distance from your current place. Maybe the charge can be shortened / distance broadened with upgrades. You'd probably have to initially be completely motionless during the switch to, otherwise it cancels, and still burning the use for the cooldown to kick in. Anyway, thanks so much for the feedback! Is it okay to copy my first post and this one into this said "suggestions" section?

    Here's my concept art of the creature... Just a quick idea... It probably shouldn't be too cute, because that would cause giving them to scientists to dissect and study to be a bit hard to swallow :)

    Maybe not literally where the cursor is, but you can shoot teleporters like in Unreal Tournament.

    Ooh, I like that quite a bit... and that Unreal Tourny player was ridiculous.

    No it was vs bots and it's rather easy for ANY gamer to do (just left click then right click)...

    Unreal Tourny looks awesome!
    also, love the "blink" idea... kinda like endermen on minecraft?

    Again that was Unreal Tournament.
    It's called the translocator.

    Apparently not many UT3 videos using those.

    Yeah, lol, I guess that's maybe where my chain of thoughts began :)
    Somewhere between that and League of legends flash, and Harry potter apparating lol

    As for that Unreal Tournament clip, that's a fantastic gun and hoverboard! I think I like the other item better, with the pocket transporter type.
