If you fly a Trident far out of range of a sector's jump-in point (5000m) it cannot be seen on radar, even by the owner of the ship. That leaves you with only a visual indication of where to fly to get back to your ship...

If you fly even further (past the clipping plane) you can't even find it visually. Your capship is lost and you have no way to find it except by flying around the sector hoping to catch a glimpse of it in the distance.

We're working on that, thanks.

Duuuude… Where's my ship?

Errr, where did I park that beast? Mom said that I shouldn't drive it while drunk...

Perhaps the answer would be to make it so you can group with your capship. Or at least stick the capship on the radar like a grouped member from the owner's perspective.

And make a Long-Range Capship Locater standard on the Duck Dynasty Edition Hound! <yarr.>

(just kidding about the LRCL)
