Can you do a teleporting move by if the special effect of the teleport allows it (say super speed teleportation)?

Can you teleport around a curve by making multiple small teleport hops in a single phase? (ex: saying using a straight line teleportation and excluding blind teleports, it would take 4 ports of 5" to round a bend. If a person had 40" of teleportation, would they still have a 1/2 phase after rounding a bend or is the act of teleporting a 1/2 phase action?) I am guessing the answer that the total distance in teleportation is the amount traveled, and the number of small ports is inconsequential except as related to the distance traveled.

1. Nope, the rules specifically state that you can't perform Move Bys with Teleportation. The special effect is irrelevant. If the special effect of the power you have in mind is one that would logically allow for Move Bys, then that's not an ability you should build with Teleportation.

2. No, since any move of up to half a character's meters of movement is a Half Move. Two such "hops" as you describe would thus constitute two Half Phase Actions, ending the character's Phase.
