though, i agree - it would be fun if distress beacons would allow you to use the "teleport vortex" that opens to send the cannonfodder troops through, regardles of the "iris" beeing open or not.

once through you get to an NPC fortress with that dead-end teleporter

This is one the the biggest issues since game's release in 2010. For that reason this has to become a priority after Gamma islands are released again. No point now in dropping the gamma improvements though, its still (I would assume) too far ahead in development to just cancel.

Therefore in order of priorities , what need to be fixed next:

Travel times:  This has always been the number one issue with new and old players, the whole map network needs to be reworked. It's all well and good to create distances in game worlds but as pointed out before PVE/Missions needs to be more casual friendly, the idea is in 1 hour of game play , players needs to be satisfied with what they have accomplished.

Travel Time Issue has at least 2 components. And both are broken. One is too slow and one is too fast.

Travel from Island to Island.
It's too easy with sparks and IZ making the world seem small and dominating pvp group to monopolize islands and resources.

Travel within one Island
This is where the "slow travel time" issue exists, especially with regard to missions. Any repetitive process that forces player to go from one side of map to the other is mind numbingly boring.

Both hurt retention. One makes life on one island boring with the constant back and forth. The other makes its almost impossible to grow outside Alpha as you hit the brick wall of domination

But whose reading this anyway...
