who exactly monitors it, why don't I have access to the information (my faction) shouldn't i be given access to the whereabouts of enemy factions within my own factions space?

Temp.

Interesting

i think it has been suggested before that we be able to see other ships in other sectors with the nave system.

you could make it so that we bought a Long Range sensor, it is an S utility.

the better the radar the further it can scan

Lvl 1 9sq sectors
lvl 2 25
lvl 3 49

and so on so forth,

you could have it do the same as the in sector list but show it in the nave menu

it could say:

Ships In sector:

yes please!!! :)~

I think "footprints" would work. When passing through a monitored sector, you leave a print that lasts for a while. When people look at the nav map, they can see where you've been.

Sector M-14
UIT Monitored
Bots sighted: None
Players sighted: yodaofborg, Claimjumper
