Simply, a warfare link that decreases lock time against any ship that already has been locked by at least 1 fleet member.

It promotes skill-intensive PvP and fleet cooperation by rewarding fleet members who follow broadcasted targets. It could also be made to affect friendly members as well for use with logistics ships. It also opens the possibility for FCs to add insta-locking ships to their fleets for reasons other than catching interceptors and people slipping gate camps.

It also promotes blobbing and alpha volleying... as if those two things aren't already powerful enough in their own right.

How did you Veterans start?

Module exists in game already.

It's called a Target Painter.

Comes with the added benefit of making the target easier to hit too.

We already have a sensor strength link, doesn't that decrease lock time already?

I just bought a Naglfar for some dread blapping. This would make my day!

Not so nice for those who I blap though; having a dread lock them super fast with the help of its web loki.
