## About The Pull Request This sets up an alternative to the DRAGnet snares using the teleporter to determine the destination of their snare teleport -- The DRAGnet beacon.  Rather than using a convoluted system that routes via the teleporter, DRAGnets can now by synced with a DRAGnet beacon. When snare rounds are fired and successfully teleport a target, they will instead be sent to the synced beacon. Syncing can be done by either pressing the gun to the beacon or vice-versa. These beacons can be wrenched into place, then swiped with a security ID to block them from being unwrenched. An emag will unlock and unwrench the beacon, and fry its access control. To facilitate this change, roundstart DRAGnet armory spawns are now done through spawners (like the other weapons), which includes a single beacon to be used by the two guns. You can print more with basic sec tech, and one is included in the DRAGnet crate from cargo. The teleport is also slightly more accurate, to make it more consistent. As usual, if not synced to a beacon, DRAGnets will just teleport your target willy-nilly. ## Why It's Good For The Game The current system is both clunky and prone to mishaps, dissuading players from engaging with it. The "active" teleporter concept has always been a bit of a mystery to players, and when a system for properly using the DRAGnet teleport is set up, it's incredibly easy to break even on accident. Every time you teleport a prisoner you have to pray that no bumbling space explorer decided to reroute the teleporter to the abandoned satellite. This system is much more clear and reliable. It's also more versatile, allowing for multiple teleport networks to be set up simultaneously. Security is starved for creativity at times. They deserve to be able to do some wacky dynamic stuff with their tools. ## Changelog 🆑 Rhials balance: DRAGnets now come with a beacon they can be synced to, which will set the destination for the snare round's teleport ability. /🆑
