Qinetix Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 That's pretty much it. Pod Pilots tend to get lost when the lag strikes and they accelerate, not to mention how many times they might miss the station in their quest to get back. We could help them with atleast giving them a GPS on their pods/ lockers, besides Space Pods need more customization anyways.

necaladun Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 While good for not getting lost, I do fear it'd make it wayyy to easy for anyone who looks at the map to find all the places out in space. Perhaps some kinda pinpointer so they can get home more easily?

Fj45 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah, pods have been needing something like this for a long time, and there are several very nice sprites for nav units, but in their current state they give too much detail. A pinpointer would be great. Also having several nav beacons you can lock onto would be helpful, maybe one on the mining asteroid, one by the engie sat and several around the station?

necaladun Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Nav beacons to lock would be perfect, especially if there were spare ones so you could get back to something you've found Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3830-give-the-spacepods-a-gps/#findComment-25022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keilden Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 While speaking about pods and Z-level, the nav beacons would also be good for pod pilots to travel between the station and asteroid.

Citinited Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Yes please, it fucking sucks to try navigate back to the station only to blow through a cell or two's worth of power and end up back where you started.

Fj45 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Going to need to find someone to sprite the nav beacon.... Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3830-give-the-spacepods-a-gps/#findComment-25116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanthelis Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Just reuse the teleporter tracking beacon sprite and recolor a pinpointer. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3830-give-the-spacepods-a-gps/#findComment-25135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Tracking beacon isn't big enough. Should just be able to use a slightly changed GPS sprite for the tracking unit itself.

necaladun Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 What about the nav beacons used for beepsky/mules? Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3830-give-the-spacepods-a-gps/#findComment-25146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 While they would work, the beacon needs to be a nice big structure otherwise it won't look too good in space.
