Groups and Capital ship locations
Currently: When you join a group with people who own a capital ship, and the capital ship is not docked, it will show the location to all the members in the group.
Suggestion: I suggest the capital ship location only be shown to the owner of the capital ship or to people who currently have an active key to the capital ship, or perhaps make it similar to the 'Buddy List' where you can select which people can see the location.
Reason: There are activities such as Deneb, Hive Skirm missions, Nation War, escort missions, etc. where you cannot control the group, and this allows anyone who joins to be able to see the location of everyone's capital ships who are in the group.

-1 just dont have them undocked if u dont want ppl to see them
But why? As my suggestion states you would be able toggle to allow certain people, or if you want, everyone to see your trident's location if they join your group or a mission you are in. This would allow it so people who get on alts, can't join nation war, Deneb missions, hive missions etc. just to get the 'enemies' dent location.
Is there a specific reason why you want everyone who joins groups that you have no control over to be able to see people's capital ship locations?

A reminder that the group system is need of an overhaul, and not just for this reason. +1
Quick fix would be to add a check box on the capship owner key that says “show in group”
-1 when your in a group with a Cap player especially in deneb Caps are generally used by everyone in the group to R/R as long as they have a Key, so if the Cap was only visible to the owner it'd make it more of a hindrance than useful.
+ 1 to the idea of a checkbox, eg. you could allow only players who have a key to see location.

+1 to allowing only those with a key to see the loc of your Capship.

I sometimes trick people into joining a group so I can learn their capship location to pirate or destroy it. This has worked at least 3 times in the last year or so. I want to keep doing it now that newer players are starting to get Goliaths.

We'll take a look, and see what's feasible.
