Originally by: Dukath Easiest solution i can think of which does not compromise safespots too much but which will reduce the time needed to track them down using triangulation.
Make speed alterations affect warp speed. That way you can warp at 500 000km/sec (minimum warp speed) and make the bookmarks at more precise locations using the scanner. This will make the triangulation a lot more doable than now.
Mind though that you will still be limited to the current warpable points as before. Only from planets/stations/moons/gates/bookmarks to another.
Have you ever tried finding a mid warp point?.I dont think so lol what youve suggested wont make one bit of difference......
I think what you want is to tell the warp engine exactly how much cap it can have, = distance....... Also as I've stated on the other thread........getting rid of safe spots will stuff the economy....so before you all shout "get rid of safe spots!!" I'd suggest you have a think about what that would actually mean to the game as a whole.....most people are totally fixated on the idea that it will enable them to find people hiding at safe spot....try and think beyond that

Originally by: Dukath Have I ever tracked down mid space bookmarks? Ask Xetic that when they lost about 33 ships in one go (safespot tracked down together with wags from SA), ask the CA that since i have several ships around curse that were originally theirs, ask the old Venal alliance or the current PA since I have several of their ships.
In short YES i have tracked down midspace bookmarks, the easy ones, the difficult ones (12 hours needed to track some of those down) and even the far away ones (you know, those people who think that safespots at 300AU are any safer than another one)
I KNOW what the problems are with finding safespots and it is with that knowledge that i propose this fix.
In short no lol
I use a specially fitted ship for accurate bookmark placing....... allowing people who lack smarts to be able to do what I can with little effort frightens me...

Originally by: BobGhengisKhan Edited by: BobGhengisKhan on 18/07/2004 00:14:25 Why is he dumb for asking for a tool to make finding them easier? The idea still requires ability with the scanner (no lame right click-> warp to), it just makes the tedious bookmark dropping a bit easier
What makes dropping bookmarks hard over relatively short distances, is the speed of acceleration and the lag between when you click "ok" on the bookmark pop up and when the bookmark is made ect.....
Also what he suggests wont speed up safe spot finding......... it could also put you ni a very very long warp....ie choose slowest warp and then warp to something very far away..........you could be sitting there for hours!........the ability to drop your self out of warp with the STOP button would be far better.....
