PULL REQUEST DETAILS
[QoL][feature][input wanted]
About the PR
Adds a Space GPS program to the list of PDA programs and adds it to the list of default programs on all PDA's. The program can only get the user's coordinates and uses the same landmark notation as the separate GPS device. It does not interact with packets, navigate to locations, track other devices, or allow others to track the user.
Why's this needed?
After the removal of the port-a-sci PDA app summon feature, getting unexpectedly lost in the trench, asteroid belt, debris field, or far from the station is difficult to recover from. Being able to relay a user's own coordinates would enable fun rescue missions without having to comb the entire z-level. The limited feature set is intentional to keep the physical GPS useful and prevent packet nerds from tracking everyone on station.
