Event Controller Option - Distance from Beacon/GPS
An option for the Event Controller where you can set "Equal or greater than" or "Equal or less than" for the grid's distance from a particular beacon or GPS point. This way you could trigger actions as your ship approaches another beacon equipped grid or specific GPS point.
For example I would like to use this to make a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) for my drones. On each drone I would select the beacons of the others in the swarm. If they get within a set distance of each other they would slow down and activate collision avoidance mode so they could pass safely. Then once it detects they are several hundred meters apart they could accelerate back up to cruising speed.
I had some other ideas such as activating landing lights when you are approaching a platform or deactivating base defenses when bringing in unclaimed salvage.
I like this feedback
