With such huge galaxies and numerous trade stations it has been awkward, if not frustrating, to return to an area and not find a previously places Autominer. A new setting for Autominers should include "Share Log entry System/Planet" so the autominer can be easily found by the player as well as by other clan members. Autominer Location should at least be logged into the PDA (or some temporary work area viewable by the clan only) when installed for the system name and planet. Viewable by same clan members only. Removing the autominer should remove the entry and/or update the entry with clan player name that removed it - especially if done by a member of the clan. Moving the autominer to a new planet removes the previous entry and creates a new entry. This requires all Autominers receive a number designation when built. Only autominers shown to its clan members Example, ID Clan Sector Planet Player Type Active Autominer #001 FOLK ALPHA OMICRON RALPH Basic YES Autominer #002 FOLK GEORGE Basic NO (removed BETA BETA II) Autominer #003 FOLK RALPH Imp NO (built, not installed) Later... ID Clan Sector Planet Player Type Active Autominer #001 FOLK ALPHA OMICRON RALPH Basic YES Autominer #002 FOLK BETA BETA V GEORGE Basic YES Autominer #003 FOLK RALPH Imp NO (built, not installed) If GEORGE moves Autominer #001 to another location and RALPH deconstructs Autominer #003 to make it an advanced autominer then... Later... ID Clan Sector Planet Player Type Active Autominer #001 FOLK ALPHA NINGUES GEORGE Basic YES Autominer #002 FOLK BETA BETA V GEORGE Basic YES Autominer #004 FOLK RALPH Adv NO (built, not installed) Upgrading could allow the reassigning of the autominer number, likewise if deconstructed no designation is assigned as it is now just a nonfunctioning core. The concept is to track location of clan autominers. It is NOT a designator of ownership. If EMPYRION does not force rebuild of the universe periodically then a fourth digit for designator, e.g. Autominer #0001, may be desirable.
