Should chat panel show the current location? - Pihe - 01-09-2010
I know it was discussed months ago but now the idea came across my mind again while i was on my Molly ship.
I have made that Molly ship against another issue but now that is gone and i'm using it to patrol Bretonian systems mostly for RP reasons if i come across some miners in Dublin well that's a bonus i'm patroling there too even when noone else is in the system. Anyway i could just use the ship if i were to rob someone when i see a player in the chat entering the system and i know well enough that many players are using that method.
So here's the deal couldn't we (you the devs) modify the chat to only show the location when players are in the same group? This would make bounty hunting challenging also the same to pirating, and it would offer a bit of protection to those who are trading/mining/or just plain being hunted. Or the other question in case you don't agree with me than could you explain it why?

Would almost certainly require the source code, which we don't have.

Would add some 'realism' to the game... as far as you can use that word anyway;)
If that could manipulated... not only group viability could be added, but also data from systems you have a base in... now that'd be interesting.
But it does sound like it's something hidden in the server code.
