Deployable Navigation Becon.

Is there an OXP that give you a deployable navigation beacon?

For example, say you've found a nice rock hermit in an asteroid field and go off to the station, but you want to easily find it again, you could drop off a beacon that would stay on your compass.

I also like the idea of it transmitting a signal once every 20 seconds or so and your hud would simply report, Beacon bearing 127 mark 15, distance 1500k or something like that. Only once you got close to it would you see it on your scanner, kind of like the black box recovery but deployable at will.

This sounds very similar to Thargoid's Cargo Shepherd.

Sounds like [wiki]ETT_Homing_Beacon[/wiki].

Ah that sounds like it.

I was aware of the Cargo Shepherd but not the other one.

Thanks.

In the case of rock hermits, you could use the  Rock Hermit Locator OXP.

Simplest of all is Thargoid's Tracker OXP. Just get a lock on any target and activate the tracker. Anything you can get a lock on can be tracked. After that the object is tracked on the ASC until you leave the system or the object docks, lands on a planet/moon, enters witchspace or is destroyed. It can track up to 5 objects simultaneously.

Funnily enough, I was thinking about something like this as well.

Looks like they've all been done.
