S.O.S.

Post by Killer Wolf »

on the other threads there's a discussion about people/pirates calling for help. it seems to me that despite the "everything a player can have/do, so can NPCs" thing, that's not entirely reciprocated as i can't cry for help. i was wondering if an OXP/main code could have a distress signal key for when you get swarmed by pirates - when you hit it, you get an acknowledgement from any GalCops in the area who then come to your aid - all you have to do is stay alive till they arrive to help you out.
there was a distress call in Frontier, IIRC, but it never seemed to do anything....unless i just didn't wait long enough for someone to turn up.

Would be useful in some systems. Alas the current key to press is I :!:
It's a fine line between clever and stupid
