When receiving a locator agent mail the name of the person you have located is linked in the usual manner to their information screen. Please can you link the system or station they have been found to be in also, CCP, so that we might right click it and 'set destination'?

I don't presume to know anything about development for video games, but I imagine these mails are generated by a single script and I can't imagine that editing such a script would take a lot of development time particularly when the name of the target is already linked (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

This would add a lot of utility and avoid the huge inconvenience of having to manually copy part of the mail, paste it into a chat window and auto-link it ourselves when there does not appear to be a reason why the location couldn't just be linked automatically.

If it comes down to a link limit on the mails themselves, please remove the link to the target's information screen (which is useless, essentially - we already know who we're searching for!!) and replace it with a system/station link.

Thoughts?

Could you make it send notifications even if the result is instant while you're at it?

You're an idiot.

If you feel that way about small changes that make the game more usable and streamlined, I suggest you don't go and take a look in the 'all your little things' thread in General Discussion; you might have an aneurysm.
