Tracking Beacons

[Edymnion]

Someone relatively new to the game on my server asked if this was a thing, and it's actually good enough to be worth passing on.

Tracking beacons, as in a block that puts the coordinates of the ship it's on into your nav computer as a saved location.

I know administration commands can already tell us the location of a ship, so it shouldn't be too hard to pull that information into the computer, right?

Possibly even tell you who is in the ship, kind of like a lo-jack. Be handy for knowing where your ships are when faction members take off in one.

You know what would be cool? Being able to place this tracker on an enemy ship while you're boarding, so if they escape you can track the location of their ship and ambush them later.

Leia: They let us go. It was the only reason for the ease of our escape.
Han: Easy? You call that easy?
Leia: They're tracking us.
Han: Not this ship, sister.

Pro-tip- The "members" tab of the faction page shows you the current sector of your factionmates.
