Tracking players.

(1/5) > >>

Spotty:
Got this idea from the undergrounds "find" feature suggestion.
Basically, add a find player button, when clicked, it will prompt for a playername, and will search for that player in the squares around you, and move you towards his position.
When in same square, if player tracked falls into an encounter, this would become visible to player tracking him.

- An outdoorsman skill of >0 would search the square you are in.
- An outdoorsman skill of >99 would search the 8 squares around you.
- An outdoorsman skill of >199 would search the 24 squares around you.
- An outdoorsman skill of >299 would search the 48 squares around you.

This would open up new ways of tracking, hunting and ambushing players.
- Your mate ran the other way outta the enc? Track him down.
- A guy bought a nice stack of drugs? Hunt him down!
- Some bastard gunned you down outside GunRunners? Get your friends and hunt him down!

Expanding on this, the guy being followed could get a warning message and maybe set up an ambush, or make a run for it to a safe location, when entered would notify the tracker that target has been lost.

Also, not everyman and their mom should be able to track anyone down.
Maybe a high outdoorsman skill vs tracked outdoorsman skill?

EDIT: Fixed the formatting of the text. Was all screwey for some reason.

Eternauta:
Would be really interesting and maybe it would even make players put prices on some character's head, which is done already sometimes, but the game mechanics don't offer much space for that.

LostSoul:
I'm a BIG fan of this idea. I wouldn't suggest making a new skill for it though, outdoorsman seems fine enough.

Word, this would definitely start happening.

Spotty:
Bounty hunting would prosper. If a bad guy likes to hang out in an area the bounty hunters would have no issue hunting him down. The bad guy would get the warning message and get the heck outta dodge. Time to deal with the consequences of your actions. Or maybe he calls in his buddies and start tracking the trackers, or make a nice ruins encounter and ambush the hunters when they arrive?

So many possibilities!

Was thinking about the scouting dog from the boneyard. That could be used in tracking as well due to its high OD (150?).

naossano:
48 grids is OP, IMO.
Big factions or trollest wil put 4 leaders in the wm and track down every people they want to harass.
