I would have to say No to such a "tool"

First off, if it were available, the potention for some one decently good at coding stuff could abuse its potential,;ie have it able to keep track of anyone anywhere anytime. That compleatly eliminates the need for things like Scanners, being in Groups, or even good old fashion leg work to hunt down your query.

Second, it could end up being used to seriously off balance the game in terms of who does what trading where and how often if all you do is use the tool to track such things. Some traders rely on steath to avoid pirates, others in convoys. After all I'd seen three Advance Trains blow away a Bomber who thought he was slick. A tool like that would mean traders are no longer able to hide from a pirate, he'd know where to go to find them.

But thats just my opinion on the idea. The Mod creator and Admins really should be the ones to look into this and have the final say.
