Wouldn't it be nice for players in space to be able to put up a request for help that other players in space can see?
Imperial/Rebel/Freelancer Fleet Command
A player who is in space can contact Fleet command (/fleet) and either request orders (see other players requests) or ask for assistance. The requests for assistance should have the persons location and what mission, if any he is doing. (code terms preferably BE T3M3 = Black Epsilon Tier 3 Mission 3)Players who accept the orders (agreeing to help another player) are asked to join a group with that player.
I for one spend most my time in Deep Space which means there is little chance a new player will notice me and ask me for help. But I would love to help any new guy who needs it, the problem is there is no easy way for people like me to find peope like him.
Demonstation:
Player launches into space, goes to deep space and is blasting away happily.
Player types /fleet
Sees:
1. Request Assistance
2. Request Orders (16)
Chooses 2.
Sees:
1. Tier 1 Pilots (0)
2. Tier 2 Pilots (8)
3. Tier 3 Pilots (2)
4. Tier 4 Pilots (5)
5. Master Pilots (1)
(The reason master pilots are listed is so that in the future when deep space is actually important a Master player can alert others that our station is under attack)
Chooses 3.
Sees:
1. timetodie433 Dathomir IQ T3M2
2. Ipwnyou423 Endor BE T3M1
Chooses 2.
Player is asked to join group with Ipwnyou423. Giving the closest hyper point can be done via group chat at that point and then player heads to endor to help newbie.
Another Demonstation.
Player types /fleet
sees:
1. Request Assistance
2. Request Orders (16)
Chooses 1.
Done. (The system will automatically pull your current mission, location, and name and post it under order requests. If you don't have a mission (duty missions don't count) it will drop your request. If you are in deep space it will simply say deep space station under attack.

Five stars. I imagine it might be a difficult system to implement, but it would certainly be a nice and useful addition to space content.

I would really like to see this implemented. Hope the devs are looking at this.

Neat idea, maybe also add some other sort of option to that for the pvp'ers basically stating, ---"Rebel activity noted in area", --or vice versa--- Then maybe a "Request assistance" message added to it, whereupon the "Transmitting" player, whose in pvp mode, having their current or last known wpt sent to any who pick up on the message so to speak.
