Overview[ | ]

Subspace Beacon icon
Common icon

Subspace Beacon places a beacon at your current location. As long as you remain within a limited distance of this beacon, you may trigger the ability a second time to instantly jump to its location. Activating a jump, or moving more than the maximum distance away, will cause the beacon to expire. Upon activating the transport back to the beacon your ship will become briefly untargetable, and benefit from a modest reduction to Bridge Officer Ability Cooldowns. Although the beacon is destructible, it has a high stealth value.

Basic Information[ | ]

  • Profession: Intelligence
  • Locale: Space
  • Game Description: Place a subspace beacon at your current location. While the beacon is active you may fold space to warp back to its location at will. The distance of this instant transport is limited, and the beacon will automatically expire if you travel too far from its deployed location. Upon activating the transport back to the beacon your ship will become briefly untargetable, and benefit from a modest reduction to Bridge Officer Ability Cooldowns.

    The beacon will automatically self-destruct if you are too far from its location. However, there is no cooldown triggered on the ability if this occurs.

Notes[ | ]

  • No Cooldown if ability expires by time running out to player jumping to beacon
  • Cooldown when flying out of range of the beacon
  • This ability received a rework as part of a larger Intelligence specialization update, with the March 17, 2022 update.
    • All ranks now have the same distance limit of 20km.
    • Added brief period of "Untargetable" after Teleport.
    • Teleport will now reset all Threat, when "Threatening Stance" is not active.
    • Added a Bridge Officer Cooldown reduction to the Teleport, which scales with rank.
    • Added clarifying descriptive text: "The beacon will automatically self-destruct if you are too far from its location. However, there is no cooldown triggered on the ability if this occurs."
    • Fixed long-standing errors with how multiple ranks of this power would interact with one another. Each Rank now utilizes an entirely separate set of checks, in order to allow a player to use multiple Beacons if they so choose. This change also resulted in the shared cooldown between ranks dropping from 60sec to 15sec
