Is there a demand for Repair or Tracker Limpets?

Last nights stream from PAX Sandro mentioned he was very keen to see repair and bounty hunting tracker limpets in the game, but it's only 'on the list' he inferred that if there was enough player support for the ideas then something may happen sooner.

That said are these things you'd like to see in game? Personally, it's a no brainer.. ;)

Hull repair definitely.

Tracker? Well... Maybe. It's always good to have more stuff to do with limpets, but I imagine this would only work with play bounty hunting? Unless the NPCs become persistent... I'm still processing this one trying to figure out how useful it would be.

I would love to see repair limpets. It would enable a whole new career, similar to Fuel Rats. Or perhaps allow the Fuel Rats to expand their services.

I think there's lots of cool things you could/can do with limpets eg;

Program one as a bomb and leave it somewhere / drop it from a height.
Directly transfer cargo to send direct, ship to ship.
Geological limpets, put on the ground and triangulate towards geyser fumeroles, from seismics.
Use to hack into datapoints potentially or use as listening devices.
Attach your transponder ID to one to give a false ping on your location (as long as limpet not destroyed!)

Tracker limpets sound nice (do these attach to a hull?) and repair drones, all interesting as far as I'm concerned. Would need to go a bit steady imo when it comes to being OP with explorering. Probably something else for repairing canopy for me, though a good hull repair might slow down further canopy degradation. Part of the interest with exploring imo is the one way street, currently with hull, but with canopy too. Think it needs to be careful there .. but the more the very merrier as a general thing.

Can we get a poll to let us have polls again?

Tracker limpet?

I'm in.

But I would be happier if there was some way you you could bribe a station contact to search the traffic logs and tell you if [Insert CMDR name from top of your KOS LIST] had been in system, when and what he was flying and what it's name was.

"I'm looking for a ship called the Anubis - might have been here in the last couple of days. I could make a uh donation to the trafffic controller's retirement fund"

Yes, yes I would.

Think bounty hunting needs more than trackers, they need to be able to find them in the first place, but fine by me to add.

If limpits do hull repair then that gets my support. Something is needed for that.

Don't see a use for 'bounty tracker' limpets while the suicidewinder exploit effectively kills bounty hunting of PC's, that surely needs fixing first.

True but it's something the PvP and pirate communities have been asking for since day 1. They do however need to make piracy more lucrative and make the bounty hunters a proper thing.

At the moment the ones that do PvP bounty hunting spend probably 99% of their time either in home systems or CG systems trying to stop gank-wings. I do hope they actually get the piracy thing going again, some people have already said it's too late now even if they "fixed" it.
