PoB Scanner

[darkwind]

It sounds super easy to code
(Although some of the additional options make level of difficulty/consumed time very high)

Hi!

The idea is pretty simple. Players docked on a PoB can access the PoB's scanner (like typing /scanner) which lists ships in a given range (10-20K) similar to /net all - tlagsnet of police). It would make inRP sense as most space stations talk about patrols or hostiles showing up on scanners. It would also be useful to see who's outside the base while I don't think it would bring any harm. As for how hard it would be to code - I'm not sure.

The base of the task

Options:
- It's a constructable Module / It's instantly available on all PoBs.
- It's usable by anyone docked on the PoB / It's only available after login in with password
- It's a continous scan (showing if someone entered or exited scanner range) / It's a ping-style scan (returning a list of names once for every command)
- Cargo scan available too / No cargo scan available. Only names
- Scanner range is also up for discussion


Please share your thoughts and ideas!

Colored in... colors, how much time options add to the task.
Green colors add nothing in time.
Orange adds a medium amount of time

So if we will assume orange as 1 unit of time
depending on chosen options
consumed time to do it can vary from 1 to 4
