Shared Radar within a group

Nov 03, 2008 krilliner link
Came up with this today when talking about the Raptor on 100.

The basic idea is that all ships would share each others radar (within the max range of the player's ship's radar). An example would be the Raptor.

Example:
2 players jump into a Storm for a HS, one of which is in a Raptor (player 2). When player 1 is within radar range of the Raptor, they will see what is on the Raptor's radar for as long as it is in the Raptor's radar range.
Usage example:
Player 1 is 3km from the Raptor, and a bot flies through the Raptor's radar. Once the bot is outside of the Raptor's radar range (1500, iirc), it will disappear until it is within player 1's radar.

It would make the Raptor alot more useful, and could open up a new range of equipment on down the line.

Sorry for bursting your bubble but this isn't a new idea. It's been suggested before and mock-ups were also drawn.

Including this one:



wich also shows group target ownerships.

It's still an awesome idea, allows for easy "netting" and stuff. I also like group target ownership.

/me is still holding out for an "assist target" button.
