Why is it like this? You travel pretty fast in space and can get out of range of your group members very fast. Why can't we see thier direction no matter how far we are?

The optimal solution used to be using /findfriend. Worked great until they broke it in Space.

That should work as well but there is still no good reason to have a limit on how far you can see group members.

Ummm you mean besides the fact that if the game tried to render everything in the sector your computer would explode? It cuts off group members after a certain range, because it has to. There's no good way to track position and orientation of "just group members" without having to report on everything around them.
