Why are you making your suggestion?
Due to Relays being broken and no replacements on the radar, this could be a somewhat reasonable replacement for Relays.
What do you propose? What should change, or what should be added?
Two parts would be added, PartCannon and PartPad. Those two parts would work together to allow inter-regional transfer.
The PartCannon would be used to send only physical parts like bins, powercells and mainly anything placed in-world. But no resources like with a relay...?
You may say "Compec this is just a mediocre hyperdrive" and to that i answer... somewhat.
The main driving point is it being like Teleporter for parts that you could just dispense onto it or manually place, it would ideally have a config for filling any bins or powercells above it with power or a resource so it could be automated.
On the receiving end, they would just appear welded on the PartPad. You could do this with some sort of Datastore queue or whatever but that doesnt matter. It could also be an option on the PartPad to weld or to not weld. The PartCannon would only work within 5 or so regions of distance, basically within the current system.
Now i will say it isnt as allmighty and great as the guessing Relay but it is a suitable replacement if you dont wish to waste as much power and time to take parts from one place to another.
