Well you have to have tracking 4 to track players(they call NPCs people in the list). It doesn't give you a waypoint, but at tracking 4, you get a name, a direction and a distance.

So I might get somethinglike this

ImperialBob South 460m

Now the person may not be directly south and may be between directly south and south east, so you may have to stop a few times to retrack the player.

"so finding what planet the prisoner is taken to can be a challenge as well."

For that, you'll probably need an informant or some such to get you on the right trail.

May I add that in the best interests of Ranger economy...I suggest you employ an Imperial Ranger from your server to help you with this transaction/extrication. And remember to pay him for his services...we must keep the economy running and even us ranger's need a few cred's from time to time. Employ a few of them, let them find this rebel and use them to triangulate/capture him...with a few BH's along the way.

The, by all means, let us know how it all works out...we always love a nice and coordinated event like this....would love to find out what happens...

"....I track em....you get regurgitated...I offer you my new and improved shower that the dev's are gonna give me in my new High Tech Field Base!"

Cool...sounds like fun.

please post back on this and tell us how it went.

Plus here are a few things that will throw you off. If they are insides a building, cave or something similar then you will not see them on the areatrack screen, and you can only see things that are about 500m from you.

oooooooooooh if only we could track cross-planet heheh. Talk about the uber-groupies flocking to our profession. <shudder>

While you can track players inside buildings, you can bring up the overhead map and see the location of players inside buildings. Also, you can pick up conversations that take place inside nearby buildings.
