Found/Marked Ships - Make them Orange on the Map or Unused Color

[aviticus_dragon]

This is just simply asking to make marked ships be a different color on the map when found. I suggest Orange, but any color that isn't used works.

One of my scout ships found an unclaimed ship in a highly populated area, and it took some time to narrow down and find it as it was a blue ship, like every other ship.

I agree that maybe they should be grey/neutral - but to help you out in the mean time, the ship list menu on the left look for ship names without a leading faction id (ARG/TEL/etc) - those are ships with no pilots. It'll help you out pending some map adjustments.

Thanks, I'll try looking for that next time I find a ship! I like the idea of a greyish color, makes sense for unclaimed ships probably better than orange.

Also, if your ships find one, you will hear them say "we found something out here", and it should be listed in your player logbook.

My ships are all set to autoclaim and I'll still peruse the map and find ones that someone they didn't decide to mention. Also at that point if I select a ship and right click the unclaimed vessel, the only option is "follow". Can't trigger a remote claim.

In the behaviour tab there's a setting for when one of your ships finds a bailed one that's called "mark" (as opposed to just alerting you or trying to claim them themselves). Has anyone noticed what exactly does it do differently?

Code: Select all

<do_elseif value="$response == 'mark'">
          <debug_text text="'mark response not yet implemented'"/>
        </do_elseif>
