Topic: Spark Teleport
Sparks were to stop walking everywhere when the map was huge and there weren't a lot of people. The map is a third its size when this was implemented and the population is more than three times the size.
No need to get rid of it, just make it proportional. Density went from 36 islands to 12 so 1/3 of the playable area and also went from roughly 80 people online to roughly 240 online so 3x as much players.
So spark teleport is 900% more effective in this environment than what it was intended to be when it came out in gamma.
Thoughts?
Will update as ideas come in to balance this back to what it is intended to be used or if you think it is working as intended.

It has been recommended that you get one home spark and 1 or two additional "forward" sparks to allow assistance for allies or for pushing your own front.
There has also been several posts thus far commenting on the usefulness of sparks for remote asset management. I am not a coder but is it possible to put this higher up on the agenda to add remote sell options? Spark teleport can be used for many things other than selling things remotely but selling things remotely can not be used for anything other than selling things remotely.
