YOYOYOYOYO!!!
So i've recently been musing about how cool it'd be for Tomo to learn Instant Transmission, but it's not a learn-able tech as of yet due to the trouble of balancing. So after flinging around a few ideas in the cbox with others i've come up with a few ideas on how to impliment it while also keeping it balanced.
Obviously requirements to use it would be Ki Sensing as it's a big part in learning the technique.
The easy part to get out of the way is Combat usage, Essentially IT would work as essentially a flavored Afterimage, possibly able to dodge attacks of a large % than max AI but has no upgraded levels to avoid getting too OP. Another thing that might make it harder to use in combat is somehow implimenting a limitation on something resembling concentration possibly; seeing as how one of the key things with the technique's usage is that you need to be able to concentrate to use it.
Now as for the hard part.... the whole teleporting feature that allows people like Goku to traverse the cosmos relatively easy. What i propose as a way that of course nerfs the technique from the canon but would balance it a little for conventional usage on forum is that, for one thing, you can only teleport to planets that you have been to (otherwise how would you even know where to use it to go to?) and/or you need to be locking on to another person's ki of significant magnitude to work. Meaning of course that by using the technique you would have to be simultaneously entering another person's thread where they're flaunting a fair bit of power... (adding onto the danger of using it for space travel). The amount i'd suggest would need to be something significant as your sensing it from literally planets away, so i'd just freeball it as something at the very least around 2 million? I'm not a good judge of PLs as i've not been here very long, so i'd be more than happy to take suggestions for this number.
As for moving through space with IT though, I propose that the actual act can only be done after you have the following requirements fulfilled:
The actual act of traveling through space would function OOC similarly to an extra ship upgrade or shortened method of travel similar to an upgraded ship, the amount/level of upgrade which i'm open to sugggestion as, again, I'm not a very good judge of numberings.
Its not as powerful or fun as the Canon IT that Goku spammed the hell out of in the manga and show; but it still is a fun alternative that I feel has the potential to be both balanced and still useful for actual forum play.

- Possess a functioning spaceship.
- Have previously used said ship to travel through space before.
