Description

If a player is in a cockpit or cryotube and you /tpp to them you will spawn directly behind that block. Often this space is occupied by another block, killing you instantly if the grid is moving or within a couple seconds if you are unable to wiggle your way out.

It would be nice if /tpp checked for free space into which to teleport you and adjusted the destination if the default was not free.

Research direction

Start at the /tpp command entry point and trace how the destination behind a cockpit or cryotube is selected. Reproduce the issue with an occupied space behind the target, then identify how free space can be checked and the destination adjusted. Done means teleporting does not place a player inside a block or cause immediate damage.
