Player Features and Ideas Discussion

-1, because this does not solve the issue it seeks to. Creating a beacon, ignoring the annoyances that would cause, and the way it would be used to harass the general playerbase by groups of command ships in jita all flicking their 'beacon' on and off (Yes, it would happen. Yes, I would bring my 4 command ships to the beacon protest), would:

• Be of little benefit if the linker is sat on the edge of a pos bubble or station, where he's not in any danger anyway
• Highlight targets on grid who are linking, allowing gangs to easily see who they should be shooting
• Devalue the benefit in running a ganglink on your battlecruiser, as now it would be obvious that you are, and make you a bigger target
• Create additional clutter

Now, the whole reason I'm posting isn't to be negative, but rather because I don't think this is a good idea, so I'll propose an amendment;

Cause ganglinks, when active, to apply a massive penalty to being probed out, allowing them to be very easy to probe out while boosting, even with loads of ECCM fit. Some sort of idea around the probes being able to lock onto the ganglink communications from the ship.
