distress radio.

So i'll cut to the point and see what you guys think. I would like there to be an internal module called a distress radio that will blip on the right side of your hud or will somehow let you know that there is a distress beacon nearby. It could work a lot like the scanners do in srvs. Where you hone into sounds. Only this time you would hone in on distress beacons. these should have an effective range of about 1000ls. So basically my idea is that you would get a ping from a thousand light seconds away from the distress beacon. Then it's up to you to follow the sound to the beacon. this would help search and rescue gameplay. IT could help you locate everything from class 4 threat distress beacons all the way down to degraded emissions that have escape pods in them.

On an unrelated note. Search and rescue items need a massive buff in payout. They pay almost nothing right now.

Maybe 1K Ls for the middle tier - perhaps 500Ls would be better for the basic ones?

Otherwise, I agree, would like this.

yeah good point there could be different classifications like 1a or 1b, etc. I mean yeah they could work just like any other interal where it goes a through e.

don't see why this cannot be part of your coms system.. And the coms system would say "Warning. Distress Signal Detected" (like when you get a hail) then you can look on your nav panel and find it if you want to investigate.

But yeah, excellent idea. I should also be build into the report crimes system. So if that's turned off, so is the distress system.
