Teleport probe (tactical 2) It looks just like a teleport probe to the enemy but it
doesn't do anything or cost anything. Did he bring a tac fighter in or not? Only your
miners know for sure.
Three main questions.
1. Do toys like this still exist in the code (even if it's from the beta)?
2. If not, (or if it's too difficult to find or has some technical answer that can answer 'no' to question 1) then is it possible to make a probe like this? More balanced obviously, buying these should cost tons.
3. Please don't hurt me?
In all seriousness though, I'm not asking for someone TO do it, I'm just thought it was interesting.

I don't think it's possible to make a tp probe that does nothing. Of course you can have an arbitrarily long activation time, which is the same concept.
However the enemy should know you have an adv tac and not an adv sup & sb so it's a little pointless. Maybe the idea was the cost savings but TP probes are not that expensive in the first place.

Ah ok, I knew there was a reason that this didn't exist anymore, I just couldn't think of it. That was part of why I posted it, thanks Spunk!

Only other thing I can think of is saving it from dropping to the enemy....
Well I think the only practical use of it now would be if you had dropped an actual tp2 along with one of these (or more) as a decoy in the same sector. But again you could just buy multiple actual tp probes.

Yes sorry surprised spunky didn't mention it. Check out ICE and if it has the options to make something do something, it can be done. Otherwise it'll probably take a code change.
Get over yourselves, don't try to win arguments on the internet where the option of a punch in the mouth is unavailable

Excuse the $#@! out of me I didn't remember -1 disabled the teleport activation delay without ICE in front of me. Actually working here unlike mr. kraut up there
