Alternatively you could log out your spacepeniscoffin in a POS instead of the same spot in lowsec that you were in 6 months ago.



It doesnt matter WHERE you log it off.
What DOES matter is that nobody should have free, easy and instant intel WHEN you log on....

I am ok with the locator agent giving locations and telling if you are active or were last active, because that requires "effort".

What about if there was a second version of the locator agent?

One that, after a variable amount of time (hours) would let you know if your target has been 'active'

This would tell a hunter if the super was on the move but not with enough warning to batphone. Would provide wardec info as to who was active and needed closer watching.

I would go with an updated version of the locator agent, with some features ;-)
1) Mode 1
- Search for all active war dec'd pilots / user defined pilots that are currently online.
- You'd just get a list of names or an indication that they are online or not, just like a snap shot of the watch list.
- A mechanism to stop spamming.
- Cost scaling based on the search parameters, all, current region, constellation etc and number of pilots.

2) Mode 2
- Search for a group of pilots, option to use the result set / parameters from the previous query.
- Approximate system location 15-30 minutes ago, maybe a map graphic representing the results.
- A mechanism to stop spamming
- Cost scaling based on the search parameters, all, current region, constellation etc. and the number of pilots selected.

Then we remove non-consensual watch lists.

I guess could place both modes into 1 GUI and adjust pricing / results accordingly, however the purpose is to make hunting targets possible but certainly not passive like it is today. Another example is quite often in low sec we place known titan pilots of locals on watch list to see if there is a chance that someone is forming to counter hot drop on us. This will now require human eyes.

The proposal above would make it harder to determine trouble is on the way and tracking Supercarrier / Titan pilots for kills quite a bit harder, (assuming no spies in the target corporation.) without removing one of the tools for active war-dec campaigning.
