The Planck Warp Instigator (abbreviated PWI) is a warping device, allowing instant transportation to a location up to 2500 away. The device may be used once every 30 seconds and costs minimal elec. It is tech 20.
The PWI is a reward for a mission chain that starts in Serpica. Total costs for completing the mission run to about 25 bil (not for the light-walleted), making this item quite rare.
Since its creation, there has been much debate as to the value of the PWI. Here are some advantages and disadvantages to the item.
Advantages of the PWI
It allows you to maneuver easily in DGs, selecting appropriate AIs and singling them out for destruction. The PWI also allow for rapid escape from AIs when shields get low. It is also incredibly useful in PvP, as it allows for a quick ambush and retreat.
Disadvantages of the PWI
Many balk at the cost (25 bil) and difficulty of completing the mission chain. To safely carry the PWI, you must use Gear Glue 20 at 100mil each. Recently, Afterburners have rendered the PWI nearly obsolete for merely increasing speed in a straight line. The PWI also competes with "baby PWIs" such as the Gallows Robber (from Piracy missions), Warpping Paper (Christmas drop) and Witch's Broomstick (Halloween drop).
Conclusion
The PWI is underestimated, and many good players use them - from Tobal to TehGeneral to Retyu... A PWI is an essential tool for high level DGs, and is especially good for Speed Demons.
