Thoughts on DragNET?

Suggestions
1

First lets think about how many times you seen it used in game?
Not many i bet.

Still there are many cool things about it.
1- ability to teleport multiple (up to 5 i think) mobs if they dont move for 4
seconds to a cell in brig.

2 - ability to shoot snares that work like bolas

The bad things
1- unreliable piece of shit.
In theory you can teleport people when u want, and in huge amounts.
In reality though its around 5 tiles around the beacon, so if the beacon is in a cell the criminal can be teleported outside cell or into a wall.

2 - setting up dragnet.
This is easy but can be also easily changed since you just go to a teleporter and change destination, which makes it unreliable yet again.
U always send people into darkness if u dont have hand tele to check location.

The possible solution to make dragnet teleport usable.

1- Its forced to teleport into its own unique beacon in brig, works roindstart.
This a double edged sword, since it works both ways if you use teleporter.

It makes it balanced due to fact that as long as dragnet beacon is active you can teleport fo brig.

Do you have any of your own thoughts/suggestions on dragnet?

ye

ah i use them every shift but only for the ability to shoot snares, i think it can shoot up to 10 snares rapidly which are like bolas, but snares stay on the ground for some time, basically bear trap from janitor

i found its code for teleportation
teletarget is the teleport target i think ? 2 is i guess priority of teleporter, station sat and abandoned
do_teleport(L, teletarget, 2, channel = TELEPORT_CHANNEL_BLUESPACE

and this is random teleport which makes no sense to me what is L or 15 bruv
is L just a null value ?
do_teleport(L, L, 15, channel = TELEPORT_CHANNEL_BLUESPACE

i never coded anything in my life to be honest

what makes u think they cant just change teleport target and u are now teleporting them into place without air, next thing u know you are banned for killing 20 people.
I seen people with 600 h on assistant, no way this works.

dragnet is simply a flawed concept which could be fixed
