Warrent Hunting

[Churu]

So, Many warrent officers most likely feel the same way, Its quite annoying when you get a warrent at a rebel outpost or a cartel and you are either forced to relog or have a LT conduct a rebel raid, Instead i suggest for all us corporals and sergeants to have a option back at HQ if we have a bounty, we can choose at the track warrent sign to also re-track the bounty so it updates the warrent's position so we can keep the guy's warrent until he leaves rebel or the cartel. 

 

Simply, we can update our warrent's position back at HQ if he is at a rebel or cartel. It can be quite annoying to relog when you get the same warrent at a cartel 5 times.

Would open up potential for someone to sit in an HQ and track a target every (x) minutes while the entire rest of the force just chases them around the map.

He would still need to have the persons bounty and actively be there to update the marker.

Right.

One cop sit in HQ and update a bounty's track every say; 3 minutes. Meanwhile, other cops go to where the track actually is. The cop in HQ can update the track while standing still, so even if the bounty is 6 minutes away from the rest of the cops, they get updates every 3 minutes.

Force a civilian to run from you and make him run to rebel easy win

What if you simply make a rule in the cop force stating this is only allowed if said target is at a rebel or cartel?

Or you could just relog, get a new bounty and not worry about that one specific bounty?

Tracking from HQ? That's dumb. How about just giving you the ability to drop a warrant with a 5 minute cooldown.

This guy gets it

BH get retracks when their bounty pings at an ATM or other similar type thing. Why not warrant?

put a timer specific to the warrent sign at HQs to be much further increased (say, 10 minutes) as to prevent this?

BH only get that with a certain talent. Cops can get that same talent also.

I have them all, that does not happen.  With BH it resets the circle, on cop it does not it just pings a fugitive location.

On BH it just pings at like an atm for example. The circle stays where it was originally.

I had a 2k bounty at Kavala checkpoint, I never tracked him but got an update showing him at black market factory when he used the atm there.

My suggestion is that if you have the option to end the bounty at HQ every 5 minutes. 

I.e you get a bounty at rebel end it, 5 minute timer starts - you can get a new bounty

If that ones shit tough luck you cant soft log to reset it because you have a timer, if its good then cool you are on your way

Someone else in your group tracked him, and it updated the circle you have for him.

That works as designed. ATM pings are just a ping.

Maybe have an option at the HQ to re-track someone, but only allow warrant officers to use it once per bounty plus an added cooldown of 15-20 minutes for other bounties?

Maybe make it only re trackable for an HQ each 15 mins, that way we ensure that doesn't happen. Dropping bountys will trigger into dropping until you get the closest bounty. Just my input
