(4) New high-end research items up for discussion

[NerdyVampire]

Hello, we need some more R&D items as you all know, so here are a few I have been thinking of. Let me know what you think.

Bluespace themed R&D items:

1. Bluespace Fishing Pole: A new stride in xenobiology research! It no longer necessitates long breeding programs, though it is still highly recommended to conduct experiments with this in the xenobiology lab!
   Sometimes creatures travel within bluespace. We know that these creatures can be conjured with xenobiology, specifically the gold core. Simply power it with an artifical bluespace crystal(ABC) and send the line in through the mini-portal. Give it some time, and see what you get! After a delay of ~X seconds, randomly spawns a single creature as from the golden core. Might instead spawn a minor item, or something special. Perhaps a pair of bluespace boots, a piece of the phazon mech, or something else. Has a limited amount of charges before it needs to have a new ABC installed. 
   Sprite: Needs sprite
2. Bluespace Mass Drive: We have worked long an hard on this (not entirely) revolutionary tech. We expect the Aurora to oversee the latest batch of testing.
   Works like the mass drive, except it jaunts you X meters forward (as long as the normal mass drive) after phasing you partially out of normal space. You don't collide with anything, but might materialize inside something if you don't take your precaution.
   Sprite: Has sprite ready
3. Bluespace Portal Portal: Based on technology of the tracking beacon and telescience, this little device will have great applicability in transit and security measures.. once we work out the kinks.
   Twin devices that are installed in two portals (ie. two airlocks). When a creature enters one airlock, they appear in the other, with a visible blue flash.
   Sprite: Needs sprite
4. Portable Hole: It started as an accident, but it works! Simply place it above the space you need to go, and jump in!
   Can be set up on the ground after a delay, when someone enters it they are jaunted to the level beneath them (max sector 2, does not work on Odin). It does not transfer atmosphere and is easily visible. It expires after a set duration.
   Sprite: Has sprite ready

What if genetics and virology were spliced together so we can make microbes that burps orange scented burbs. Slap it onto xenobiology/archeology

I like the blue space fishing. That sounds fun.

The portable hole is begging to be used in a few gimmicks. Ever since they armored up the AI's roof I miss busting in on malf....... Scientist, prepare the hole.

Bumping this because I still feel it is a relevant suggestion.
