== How to use Locator Agents ==

When you talk to the locator agent, you will have a button to locate a character besides the request mission button. You have to type in the name of the character and the locator agent will give you a quote how much it will cost (Note that the lower the price the closer the target player is to your location, so you can determine without paying money whether the target is in another region, just another constellation or in your system).

First use the in game [[Agent_Finder|Agent Finder]] to find your nearest locator agent. When you talk to the locator agent, you will have a button to locate a character besides the request mission button. You have to type in the name of the character and the locator agent will give you a quote how much it will cost (Note that the lower the price the closer the target player is to your location, so you can determine without paying money whether the target is in another region, just another constellation or in your system).

If the target you searched for is offline, the agent will give you the targets last known location, but will not tell you they are offline. So to avoid a wasted trip you might want to check if they are online or not before asking the agent for their location. You can do this by adding them as a contact and using the People and Places Contacts tab to see if they are online or not. Online characters will be marked with a green dot, off line characters with a red dot.

The locator agent will then run its location service which will take a couple of minutes, depending on the agents level. The higher the level, the faster he runs.

Once done the locator agent will send you a Notification with the location of the target '''when you started the search''' which will include the system, constellation and region as well as the station the player might be docked at. If the target is in space, no station will be listed. E.g. {{co|wheat|"The sleazebag is currently in the Bukah system, Nohshayess constellation of the Khanid region." }}
