In addition, it makes cheap teleportation within worlds effective by just popping in and popping out.

Re: [IW, Yrth]"You arrive ... where?"
First define the issue. We want conveyers and jumpers to arrive in air but on solid ground.
How about every jump pre-jumps a force that must be able to push away all but an orienteering plane of solids in order to fully materialize? I imagined a jumper with a form of luck that allowed him to "dip his toe" into a new world before committing to the jump to avoid insta-kill locations.

If I want to get into Homeline Pentagon, under the current system, I need to get to the Potomac of any Q5 world. That doesn't seem like a terribly rigorous constraint. Is the Patrol really guarding every major site on every Q5 world? Quote:

There are no projectors on Q6 so you can't leave Q6 in a conveyor unless it's the right sort of conveyor and you're getting picked up by a projector on Q5 (Homeline) or Q8 (Centrum). Roger's right about only needing to get to the equvalent site in a Q5 world. Infini9ty can't gausrd all of them because in inhabited ones the locals are likely to have gotten there first. Infinity tries to control conveyors (and things like nexus portals and simlar oddities) rather than inifinite amounts of geography.

Re: [IW, Yrth]"You arrive ... where?"
It deposits travelers in either Tredroy or southern Caithness of Course!
Why? .....because I , the GM have maps for those places, thats why. That will always be the elegant answer - what map does the GM have available or want to use? - Ed C.
