[QUESTION/REQUEST] Ship Tracking Range & Beacon #3427

Open cloudrambler opened 3 years ago

cloudrambler commented 3 years ago

Today I nearly lost my ships as I had them all parked in the middle of nowhere and accidentally warped one of them to a nearby star. When I got back, it took me ages to find them again. Mostly by luck as I knew roughly which heading to search.

Question: Why do stations appear as trackable locations at hundreds of km away, while ships disappear around 20km?

Request: Can we have an optional beacon, so that ships will be as visible as stations?

I think the beacon should be optional, as it allows ships to hide in the vastness of space. But fleets of ships need to keep together and rendezvous, so at least one ship in each fleet would need a beacon. Perhaps there could be an upgrade chip that makes the beacon private, so only player or faction can see it.

So in the next update (21w01a) you will be able to see all ship in the System Map section of the holomap. And yes I will work on beacon, scan and stuff! Thanks
