Transponders
Ship Transponders have been added to the game
Thanks to @Kbug, please welcome transponders into the game!
In a ship's cockpit, use the transponder command to see the various commands affiliated with it. Anyone who is monitoring will see when someone turns on their transponder. Once a transponder is turned on, players monitoring for active transponders can see the basic information of ship with a broadcasting transponder: Ship name, the system, and its current energy level.
Transponders come standard in every ship at the moment, and they have various uses. We will allow you to decipher the majority of these uses at your leisure. However, for newbies' sake, the most basic use case provides a very good way to help folks find you if you run out of fuel somewhere!
Disclaimer: As with any new feature, we may make changes and balance as necessary while transponders are fleshed out.
