bump, sounds interesting at least and I think it could prove to be fun.

In relation to this idea, do anyone know if its as simple to implement as I suspect?
The info on location is already reachable for the warp to when ganging, and using a bookmark..
The instance/info programming wise should be there and available.
The distress could simply be added like a kind of macro in chat?
/sos
This would spawn a linkage in chat that you could warp to like it was a bookmark.
In this opening for drag and drop any bookmark to any chat.
Any techies able to elaborate?

Originally by: Teviq Vux I would gladly drop a fake distress beacon in order to bait someone to my camp of friends in cloaked Ravens.

This.
Incidentally, best idea this month.

Given that CCP already has a bookmark system, and a system for linking to things in chat, I would assume that it would be fairly simple to code. (I say this with a fairly extensive technical background, RE: techies elaborating) I envision a button/shortcut that places an active link to your position in the active chat, and the ability to drag a bookmark from your places to a chat sound reasonable as well.

Btw, while i agree with the idea, and everyone should be able to make them and everyone should be able to warp to them, i also think it should be made clear who made the distress signal. ---------------------------------------------

this is supported
tip: maybe just use the beacon that is currently used in varius systems that pops up now and then.

The LOLs that would ensue, when unsuspecting ratters warp in on top of a pirate camp that has a ratter pinned and in deep structure would be epic. I fully support this as a method for pirates to bait mission runners and ratters to come to them.
Or heck, just release the distress beacon and wait for the anti-pirate wannabes to show up. This would be great!

Carebear uses it when the big evil red crosses have him in a bind. FW folks use it to call in reinforcements. Pirates use it to trick the kind hearted to "help the poor tackled newbie".
Something for everyone. Could be fun. Seems simple enough to implement as well, but what do I know. |

Originally by: chatgris While I admit to being somewhat of a carebear, I am definitely of the opinion that pirates could respond exactly the same as any other player in the system.
I had previously stated this with.
"It also goes that pirates could "respond" to this beacon as well, leading to more fights possibly occurring away from the standard gates/belts :)"

any mining ship would be dead long before anyone could warp to you anyway, thus irrelevant. |

An interesting idea, given that CCP are now looking at the 'book mark my ship' option.
Essentially you're just asking to be able to drag the BM to a chat channel, including local.
Such a functionality would be useful for other reasons too , e.g. covert ops.
Alternatively, a new option on the ship or channel menu could be "send distress call", which automatically flashes up a "help me!" message in local, makes your pic flashy green and enables people to warp to you. This would require more coding but may not have the same overhead as BMs might.
Potentially a spam problem and extra lag but worth looking into, perhaps. --------------------------------------- Outface the depths of evil with clarity --------------------------------------- |

What a **** idea, nerf solo pvp even more. No TQ!
I can already see when I am engaging somebody he drops a beacon and in a matter of time we have other people getting into the battlefield.
Since Quatum Rise its already easy enough to stay away from PVP, if your get caught its your own ****ing problem and your own ****ing stupid mistake.
This should be trown into the trashbin.

oh my! scan down a mission runner in lowsec.. warp in.. drop distress beacon.. cloak.. after the ensueing slaughter, salvage the battlefield
With my luck.. would happen to ME!
would still flippin' funny though I think it would work better as a physical beacon that shows up on the overview and requires the use of repair facilities before you can launch another

Maybe make it so it can only be issued when the attacker has a criminal flag in empire and can be linked in other channels, i.e. corp or intel channels.
Rather than use a bookmark you can use a system similar to corp fleet invites, to broadcast it in a channel.

Haha, cry more man. (: This could serve just as much use to you as it would the idiots you claim.
I support this idea. It serves a lot more uses than the OP suggests. If you can throw it into any channel and anyone can use it, absolutely.

I like it. It's a useful mechanic, and it's balanced so that it's both useful and dangerous. Basically all we're asking is to be able to place a bookmark in a chat channel. I see this having a lot of uses - in fleet/corp/alliance channels as a way of quickly distributing bookmarks, and in local as a way of sending out distress calls, planting ambushes, or being a good Samaritan. Anyone using the mechanic understands the risks involved.
And, I'd like to point out, a person under attack sending a distress signal in local really doesn't assume any risk, - presumably, you'd only send a distress signal if you knew you were going to be beaten. If more bad guys turn up, nothing is going to happen to you that couldn't have happened already. But if good guys turn up, you might get lucky. Or, even more interesting, maybe different bad guys turn up and turn it into a 3-way fight.
Generally, it'd be a useful mechanic to have. Supported.

It does sound like a good idea, but I am afraid it would be to overpowered when it comes to largescale fleet battles.

Why is that? You can already warp to fleet members...

I support the concept but not the proposed implementation, I don't think local should be used for such things.
