Summary	0011279: Mass Teleport Starship
Description	This starship is a massive variant of teleport battlestations, with a few tricks to keep them within balance limits. Their draw card is the ability to teleport a short distance with cooldown, along with a cap-worth of boosted units. The limit on number of units is defined in the same manner as attack-boosts, etc: based on ship radius. Essentially, the ship has both a normal engine (speed 44, say, equivalent to a plasma siege) and a teleportation drive. The drive activates every 10 seconds and warps the ship towards its destination by e.g. 8000 range. Fortunately, the ship itself has only minor electric ammo like other teleporter. It's the hitchhikers that's going to a problem. A limit of 1 per mark... Uses: - For the AI, it is desired that they slip through the kill-zone of turret defenses and get into range, especially HBCs and worm-hole camping forcefields. - For the player, useful in some kiting situations and primarily for crossing the killzone of guardpost+fortress combinations. Micro-needed fro wrath lances.
