Tracker Bugs

Jan 07, 2005 Fuzzy901 link
We've all seen the notices that appear if you're near a ship that jumps into another system, so I was thinking perhaps we could use a weapon that would 'bug' the target and relay any jumps it made to whoever fired the bug. The bug itself would be delivered via a small guided missile, and would stick to the target for either 10 minutes or until the target used a wormhole (which would destroy the bug.) I'd call it the....hmm....Lamprey Reconaissance Tracker.

That would be cool. I think a more usefull mode of tracking would be if it showed the target's position on your navscreen. Of coarse that would be harder to program, so you idea is more likely to be implemented
