Currently, in the game we have Antennas that serve no purpose other than decorative purposes, so I know it's a small addition but maybe we could use them for picking up distress beacons across the universe, they wouldn't pinpoint the exact location but they'd give you a rough estimate where the distress beacon is and what faction/level the beacon would be. I think personally this would be a good way to use antennas and have them good for deep space transmissions between players and ai's and a good way to help raise rep too
