Ship transponders broadcast a location tag on the heads-up display of endoskeletons in their proximity. They are used to locate ships from up to 100 kilometers away, though it is worth noting that all users can see these signals, be they friend or foe. Only one transponder can be placed on a ship at any given time.

Basic Info

• You can place the Ship Transponder to your spaceship in the Spaceship Designer; note that you can only attach one transponder per spaceship.
• When you buy your ship from the Spaceship Designer, the ownership information will be saved to the Ship Transponder.
  • The Ship Transponder will always broadcast this ownership information, regardless of which ship the transponder is attached to.
• The Ship Transponders will only broadcast their signal if they are attached to a spaceship.
  • If you attach multiple transponders to a spaceship, only one of them works.
• You can use the Universal Tool to set the transponder broadcasting on and off.
• The transponder broadcast range is 100 km, however, you can adjust your reception range from Settings.
• From the Settings, you can choose which transponder signals you are receiving, and how many.
