@lritter I figure the last case is two teleportation events, site_a-to-teleporter, and teleporter-to-site_b and they can skip the materialization from the first teleportation because you're already buffered up. They also tend to do teleporter-to-teleporter when teleporting to other ships where they were invited to do so, so it might just be marginally safer to teleport to a specific well known location, and thus would be the standard operating protocol because military.
