Teleport: no 'insufficient micro-P.Note" message when attempt to use Teleport

[Event "Janе" Horizon]

I attempted to teleport to New Urengoy from Surgut while being a newcomer that did not have any micro-P.notes.
The teleport destination dialog opened as expected and had the expected one destination (New Urengoy).
When I select New Urengoy- the dialog states "Transferring", however the TravelBot stays at the Surgut.


I expected a message stating that I did not have enough micro-P.notes.

Should there also be a message about citizen status? In Alpha only citizens could use the metro so it seems reasonable to expect that newcomers might not be permitted to use the teleporter, however things are quite different in Survival!

In Alpha - newcomers were not allowed out of QA1, hence the Metro would never work for them.

I'm thinking back to a time when there was once a Metro inside of QA1, at which time only citizens could use it.

Sorry - I am not being very clear.
In Alpha - Newcomers were restricted to QA1. Using the Metro would allow them to escape. So they were not allowed to use Metro.
Citizens were not restricted to QA1 and could use Metro in QA1.


In Survival - Newcomers are not restricted to QA1. Why would they not be able to Teleport (aka Metro)?

Newcomers are allowed all over survival from what I can tell. They start at Mugen, right? Then work their way up to NU with completing tasks at roadblocks along the way. We need someone that's a citizen to try to teleport that has no micro pnotes and see what the system tells them, if anything. Is it just a newcomer thing or the message is missing all together? Good catch Singularity!

I have done this as a Newcomer.
The result is that you stay where you are and the dialog goes away.
I suspect Citizens with no micro-P.Notes will get the same (to be tested).

A related question is, was there a message for Newcomers in QA1 that tried to use the Metro while it was there? I'm trying to remember back that far and it's making my brain hurt. X-<

Even if it did not, there should be an explicit message about this too if Newcomers are not allowed to use the Teleports even if they have enough P-Micro Notes. With all of the changes between AWS and AWA (the ability to leave the quarantine area in AWS being the most pertinent one), it's quite likely that this has changed so that Newcomers can use the Teleports. The only way to know for sure is for a Newcomer with enough PMNs to give it a shot.

By the way, what is the cost to Teleport anyway? Is it the same as the cost to use the AWA Metros?
