I KNEW someone would ask that!

isn't it weird that it's a square and not a rectangle?? (even the transport symbol is a slightly weird choice)

this won't load for me, do you have a mirror?

well we can think of it as a teleportation building. And we need to agree about teleportation being a way of transport.

every caster i know and most every player I know calls it and treats it likes a factory. which why not. it behaves like a factory in every way :

• mass and E consumption over time
• rally points
• unit queue
• can assist to mimic others of it's own kind
• can be assisted to go faster
• why am i even making a list there's literally no difference to be found except for lore

maybe for clarity's sake and new people learning the game we should change the icon to a rectangle.

something like this maybe

It's not that I am hellbent on having this it's that noone is against thus far.
