ME Annihilation Plane: breaks the block behind it and collects items, but only if the network can store all drops. Both act for the player who placed them (claims apply).

ME P2P Tunnel: two or more tunnels with the same frequency link network parts without cables (32 channels). Link them with the Memory Card: sneak + right-click the first, right-click the others.
