The teleport receiver, as its name implies, allows ships with the ripcord
ability to teleport to it. The teleport receiver doesn't require energy
to allow ships to ripcord, it can receive an unlimited amount of ships
at once.
Most of these can rescue eject pods.
Using the teleport receiver
The teleport receiver is usually used much like the outpost, being
an expansion station that serves as a launch point for ships
that can ripcord (teleport). They allow easier access for
offensive and defensive ships to be where they are needed
quickly.
There MUST be a teleport receiver at home, or close to a dockable
station. Whenever a ship needs to quickly get home, he can
ripcord there and quickly dock. A home ripcord also serves
BIOS well, since it allows their pods to be retrieved quickly.
IC also benefits greatly from such a station since their miners
can mine in remote sectors, and can quickly ripcord home and
dock.
