Currently, modules like target painters amd weapon disruptors have no specific source point - they just materialise near a player’s ship.
I think it might be nice to give these effects a common source with something simple and cheap to implement.
The idea is this: Give each ship a pair of antenna arrays. One on top, one on the bottom.
They don’t have to be large, obtrusive, or even 3D (a simple texture or sprite will do). So long as they give module effects an anchor then it’s all gravy.
More advanced ideas include a 3D rendered antenna array as part of the ship, and little transmitter dishes that track targets.
Applying them to a ship could range from giving each ship a single hardpoint on the ship model used for midslots where a small array can manifest (like turrets are now), or just placing an array or two on each ship.
