Matter transmission facility. Allowing for instant transportation over short distances.
With some technological advancement, spacecraft can have transporters. It will require at least one transport pad and a transporter station, for which TL7 is required.
Spacecraft
When a spacecraft has a crewman is operating the transporter station, it is possible to request a transporter beam from the ship.
A spacecraft with a working transporter does not require a door to the outside. In order to board a just-built ship with only a transporter, you need to use the transporter console either on a station, on another spacecraft that's already crewed, or in an airport terminal.
Stations
Hailing on the Communication's hail channel will open private channel with all stations in the system. It is then possible to request a transporter beam on those channels if they have a working transporter.
Airport Terminal
An airport terminal may contain transporters depending on the building design used.
The transporter station is not manned, but it is possible to request a transporter beam on the Communication's trade channel.
Apart that it is possible to manually use the transporter station just like a normal transporter.
Transporter Types
There are 2 types of transporters.
Personnel Transporter
The personnel transporter is the default transporter type. It can transport any creature that enter the portals.
It requires transporter pads to be associated with the transporter station in order to function.
Vehicle Transporter
Vehicle transporters are used to transport vehicles to and from a spacecraft. Requesting a beam up while seated in a vehicle will inform the crew to beam up the whole vehicle into a parking spot of the vehicle's type.
The vehicle transporter does not require transporter pads, instead it requires the spacecraft to have parking spots for the individual vehicle type. Any associated transporter pads are ignored.
