Imagine if you are hunting war targets and you are using locator agents to find where they are, this is what you have to do.

What you have to do now:
Set your agent finder to any and level 4, right click each agent and show info until you find the nearest locator agent, then you go to it and write the name down and the time you use it. Fly your alt all the way over to the targets location only to need another locate because they have moved. So you again right click all the agents to find another and either look at your list to make sure you haven't used it or just pray you haven used it..... ect



Idea:
wouldn't it be nice to have an option to find your locators?

Maybe highlight the agents names in yellow like on the market if they are on the way to your destination?

Or have a timer that tells you when you can use that locator again?



Just thought of this and think it could be helpful.

Yes! God yes.

This really really needs to be done. Also, it would be such an easy thing to implement (compared to most of the suggestions made).

Plus, with the Bounty System getting an overhaul for the winter expansion this will need even more attention. With people looking for other people more often, people will be using the locator agents almost constantly, which is going to make finding them a royal pain in the ass.

I made this same suggestion in a thread on fixing the Bounty System. If the new bounty system sees implementation without this, you will soon see threads like this one popping up all over the place.

Ship it.

Yeah, i forgot about the whole buying and selling kill rights and new bounty system thing. this will be very helpful once this stuff goes live.

How has this idea gone without support?
Is it a good idea, so no one cares to troll it?
is it a bad idea so no one supports it?

I cleaned it up a bit so it is easier to read.

I have no idea why players even need to dock to speak to agents at all, to be honest (faster then light communication and all that). I could see mission agents not wanting to dish out sensitive info about missions, but that the only possable justification I can think of.

Dont use locators very much, but I can see how this would be a great help to players with no drawbacks to the Game.
