This agent is a new Criminal agent you would need standings etc, you pay isk to find out the location of a hauler / transport ship, Mining barge or the current movement of industrial ships, Mining barges in low or Null sec for the purpose of piracy game-play with the objective of taking player loot. Keep in mind though your still susceptible to a bait / trap when you get there. but on the other hand you may get good loot other times.

Story wise the pirate factions have found a way to use (crude) Entosis links to Hack into the star gate network and track ship movements. New criminal agents are able to provide the information for a fee.

yarr.

you can already do this through normal locator agents by inputting a pilot name :/

If your asking for a new type of agent to track people by ship type, i would bet most of the community will say no, there is already enough "Free" intel in this game, if you want easy industrial kills in low sec find a pilot who mines there, track them with locators back to their other mining friends

Well pirates would have ways of knowing, perhaps you could drop a cloaked deploy-able in an asteroid field that would alert you to a nearby mining ship or perhaps players could build a listening post that tracks movement of industrial ships nearby to systems you build it etc. it can pinpoint the location based on size of structure (more scanning power) and / time the ship is in a system.

Or by going to jita or amarr, plenty of haulers you can detect with the mark 1 mod 0 human eyeball...

Just check Dotlan, like everyone else.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Scouts, that is all it takes.

Having the game do it for you is just lazy.
