Hello,
I think it would be nice to allow the players to send the (maybe long-distance) distress signal which would mark the ship on the radar, so nearby players (or even NPC system security) could come to help.
Reason? I can think of four, actually. 1) We all know grievers that just kill other players who can't really defend themselves in PvP. This would give us huge advantage over those killers. 2) CZ or RES - if player get outnumbered by pirates or is close to death, nearby player could help. 3) crippled ship - someone could just see the signal and just come instead of navigating over the comms. 4) TRAPS... of course people would use that to set-up traps. Could be fun. 5) COMMUNITY! Not everyone goes to check forum, not everyone is part of the group or clan. This could bring players to cooperate more and actually care for others a bit more.
Of course, it could also attract PvP killers, so you'd have to think twice before sending signal.
Thx.
