Topic: Cheap and fast - idea for a new robot

Have you even had a problem with moving from A to B and not worry about your home base set on Beta Island? Tired of looking for that god damn Arkhe to suicide into a spawn just to move your spark faster? Well I am! Since we can't produce Arkhes it's harder to get a cheap sh*tty bot which you can use just to say „Hi!” to a nearest spawn or just move relatively fast without hurting your wallet by buying a light robot for one way trip.

So I thought why couldn't we suggest Devs a new robot! Made by humans for humans! I would like to introduce you:

Freyr

    Interference minium: 10 B
    Interference peak: 30 B
    Locking range: 50 m
    Locking time: 20 sec
    Maximum Targets: 1 pcs( 1pcs)
    Missile guidence failure: 10%
    Sensor strength: 50 Hw^3
    Signal detection: 80 rF
    Signal masking: 80 rF

You can see that I didn't post any bonuses. Well, we want it cheap don't we? So why do we need some "extras" since it'll be used for quick transport only. What do you think about that?

Weren't we supposed to have Spark Teleportation? I remember this being mentioned vaguely somewhere on the Dev Blog... But from what I remember, this bot would be redundant then.

Light robots aren't really wallet hurters. It would be handy if we could get an arkhe regardless of how many non-arkhes we had at the terminal (until the spark tele thing drops). Would be roughly equivalent to pods/nubships then.

I like the use of colours to fluff up the normally monotone way in which we players demand things from the devs.  In spite of how utterly pretty the OP looks, I'm not so sure this idea will take off.  It has no place to stuff cargo expanders.
