Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello

The idea is new tracking darts and a ship locator module. The darts will not cause you to receive any security drop or gcc, however the ship will still receive an aggression timer if possible. The ship getting shot by the dart will also have no idea unless he sees his ship get shot by the dart. The other to find out if you have been darted is to run a ship scan on that ship or dock in stations which have a new bug detection option that take 10 minutes to run. The only way to find out who bugged you though is to see it for yourself. If it was your ally you could confirm by telling them to dock up.

The Location Module would be interesting. I don't know if it could be done and hard hard it is to do in game mechanics terms. I was thinking of a few different things in terms of who can track who's bug. What I would like to see most is that any locator can see any bug. Each bug can be named separate before its launched. You can type in a name filter to your bug and see where its at on the map. With the most advanced locator and T2 bugs, you can warp to your target in system.
