I don't see much point in this, unless Police IDed ships can use it in their own House.

Picking up from akura and cabulb - I think it's a great idea so long as it is restricted to select factions (e.g. cannot buy with correct ID like certain ships) and has a high cost and fairly short cooldown period.

Do. Not. Want.

1. it would make every system into a copy of ny (lulz!)

2. it would ruin the surprise for many targets (*evil grin*)

srsly, it would be abused; the command to eavesdrop via hyperspace would be used by traders to avoid pirates, pirates to avoid police, and smugglers to avoid everybody. End result? pirates get bored and desperate, and start asking for money AND your life (cos they not got one due to sitting around waiting for a hapless freighter), police get bored and start attacking people on the most trivial of infractions, and smugglers get richer and richer. /powersmuggle

even the commodity could be abused: get a convoy together, drop these beacons in space every time you pass back and forth, each convoy captain keeping an eye on their system... they completely avoid pirates. /powertrade

lastly, how would you tell the difference between your system and the target system?
would you have to re-enter the code each time you changed system?


and would a /eavesdrop <player> command be more useful?

Ways to abuse this:

1 = you hate a player and try to monitor his language use at all times to sanction him

2 = you monitor the enemy to see if their on/off guard and if their preparing an assault or not

3 = mass sanction reports against one player because many listened (1 F-bomb report turned into 14 reports)

And another thing is it is too much work for too little gain or infact no gain
