Tester information (Internal use only)

When teleporting unmanned ships around, lag compensation will think it moved that distance and try to compensate for it.

If the entity is at 0 0 0, and you teleport it to 100 0 0.
It will:

  1. Teleport to 100 0 0
  2. appear moving for about 100 meters, the distance it teleported (so to 200 0 0)
  3. then slowly move back again from 200 0 0 to 100 0 0
