A word of warning. Telescience requires '''math'''.

The telepad console has 4 settings: Bearing (measured in degrees, can be changed from 0 to 360), Elevation (measured in degrees, can be changed from 0 to 90), Power (measured in integer units, can be changed from 10 to 100 provided you have enough [[Bluespace Crystal|Bluespace Crystals]] at hand, from 10 to 20 by default) and Sector (defines the z-level which we are beaming to or from, default is 1, corresponding to the main station z-level). Together, these 4 settings define the coordinates whatever or whoever is on the telepad will find themselves after you push the Send button on the console via the following equation: | |||
* (destination X, destination Y) = (telepad X + distance * sin(bearing)),(telepad Y + distance * cos(bearing)) | * (destination X, destination Y) = (telepad X + distance * sin(bearing)),(telepad Y + distance * cos(bearing)) | ||
