Summary0030063: Teleporter gun and portal receiver.
DescriptionA teleporter gun that does very little damage, but moves a unit "somewhere random on the map, but x distance away," and only if they are a humanoid scale unit, could be hilarious and effective. It bypasses the more causal knockback, and loses predictability.

But it's a way to mitigate damage by just having the unit by not-right-here at the moment.
It can backfire, though, since they could be teleported into more of your base.
But a one-turn stun could help mitigate that also.
Maybe that's a two part ability.
If you have a unit with a reciever teleporter augment, then any units you hit with the teleporter gun go within X distance of any reciever.
So you can funnel them where you want.

arlen_tektolnes: maybe stun 'em for a turn too, to represent the utter confusion

Added suggestion; use the existing "confused" status effect

Hilarious, but if you can teleport them to a known target, why not into a prison cell? Also, this seems *way* outside the tech level of the rest of the setting.
