Crimes against non-Teammates remain personal. Other Teammates are not punished directly, though they may well commit crimes if they wish to help out.

== Teammate Nav-Lock ==

You can slave your ship's ~~frame shift drive~~ to a Teammate's ~~vessel~~. Select a Commander from the Comms Contacts tab in the Comms panel who is listed under the "Team" heading and choose "Engage Teammate Nav-Lock."

Short for 'Navigation lock'.

You can 'slave' your ship's Frame Shift Drive to a Teammate's ship.

The system is buggy since it's introduction and never been fixed. While some players claim it works or worked for them consistently, for may others it either works erratically or not at all.

It also has several harsh requirements for it to work:

* Both ships have to be inside a very small range, both in normal space and in Supercruise. In Supercruise especially, it is basically impossible to maintain the range, as ship cannot fully stop there.

* When following a Plotted Hyperjump route, before each jump the leading and following ship have to meet in the same system, in Supercruise, in Nav-lock range or close, and again jump together. This is hard to do in SC. It is risky to do close to the star (where jumps usually occur on route). It is very inconvenient, because follower ship always arrives with delay and leading one has to constantly wait. If leading ship arrives in a system and instantly Hyperjumps to next before follower ship arrives, the Nav-lock won't follow.

For these reasons the system is largely unusable and unused.

=== Turning on and off ===

Select a Commander from the Comms Contacts tab in the Comms panel who is listed under the "Team" heading and choose "Engage Teammate Nav-Lock."

You will see a square marker appear on the Teammate's status element in the team interface.

To turn off the nav-lock, select the nav-locked Commander from the Comms Contacts tab in the Comms panel who is listed under the "Team" heading and choose "Cancel Teammate Nav-Lock."

~~You will see a square marker appear on the Teammate's status element in the team interface. ~~

When the nav-lock marker is cyan, you are within nav-lock range.

When the nav-lock marker is red, you are out of range.

When ~~you are nav-locked~~, ~~the following effects occur *automatically* if~~ you are ~~close enough~~ to ~~them:~~

When leading ship performs any kind of jump, and you are not in range to instantly follow, same looking square cyan Nav-lock marker appears at the point of jump. (Together with standard High / Low wake.)

* You will follow the ~~Teammate into and out~~ of ~~super cruise~~

** Standard requirements still apply (~~retracted hardpoints and gear, etc~~.)

You can only slave your drive to a single Teammate at a time, but you can change the nav-lock target freely.

* You ~~will follow the~~ Teammate ~~into~~ a ~~hyperspace jump~~

** Standard requirements still apply (retracted hardpoints and gear, ~~capable FSD, fuel, etc~~.)

* You will follow the Teammate's wakes

** Standard requirements still apply

~~Note~~, ~~you can only slave your drive~~ to ~~a single Teammate at a time~~, ~~but you can change~~ the ~~nav~~-lock target ~~freely~~.
