Emergency beacons?

When a ship is out of fuel and can't do anything anymore, how do we find them and refuel their ship if we can't find them? Do we have beacons to lock on to ships that are in distress? or at least can we send emergency signals when in any sort of distress? like when we are being attacked by pirates?
 
Wingman Beacon Signal

When in normal space, you can activate your ship's beacon signal, by navigating to the Functions tab, highlighting and selecting "Beacon."
Choose "Wing" to turn the beacon signal on.
Choose "Off" to turn the beacon signal off.
Whilst the beacon signal is on, any Commanders at super cruise in your system will see a signal contact on their sensors.
You can target and drop out at a signal contact to arrive at the wingman's location in normal spa

Currently you can drop beacon that your wing can pick up and follow into normal space. A general distress beacon that anyone can see isn't in the game yet, but it has been mentioned as something they want to get in there.
 
Sounds like a great way to set traps for people.. I would be super cautious going in. Good idea though!

If it's a NOVA FLEET pilot, then there would be no need to be cautious.

Which makes me think, wouldn't it be a great addition to actually fly your escape pod with emergency transmission, till your safe? The choice would be there to just skip If you didn't want to wait lol

I know this would be costly, but if you run out of fuel and you can't get anywhere or get any help.....self-destruct?

It sucks, but if you can't get any assistance.....
