Year 9 Day 247 22:46	Can not find my NPC
Manta Birostris	This is all the info I have on her: Passenger In Facility: Hangar AV HA (ID: 321664) Room: Entrance (ID: 3242558) How do I find the hangar's location. Edited By: Manta Birostris on Year 9 Day 247 22:47 ____________

Hal Breden	That is all the information you are supposed to receive. I'd suggest assuming the name includes some sort of designation, and start by asking factions with the initials "AV". ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies."

Edward Teach	Hi Hal, I'm just wondering what the reasoning is behind the server not supplying the co-ords of the facility that the NPC is in? Thanks Ed

Hal Breden	It applies to all entities, because you shouldn't be able to track someone's ship/vehicle/whatever just by having a ship or NPC aboard. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Hal Breden	Since you're not supposed to see where they are, Skar, that would be an exploit. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Bento Hadaar	Yes, Skar, you can find them that way. Hal is right though. I actually committed this crime (albeit accidentally) a few months ago. Similar situation, only involving items not NPCs. I thought the item was on a planet somewhere, hauled toward it to get the exact name and info from the room, but found in a few days that it was a ship, and I was chasing a players ship. Serious no-no, exploiting a feature like that. Once I was informed of that little error (and realized that the planet wasn't jumping from point to point, a ship was) I quickly stopped, and started finding other solutions. My solution: Sell the 'missing' item to some poor schmuk and let them deal with it. Never could find who owned that ship/cargo container/room.. whatever.

Year 9 Day 253 2:54	Can not find my NPC (can close)
Manta Birostris	Thank you all for your advise. I have used it well. This can be closed if you like. Thanks again ____________
