there should be a tab or something where you can find a player.

If you mean here in the forums, there is. Top of the screen where it says Members.

If you mean in-game, +1 but at an extra energy cost. Kinda like calling long distance...

lol. this would be fun! this way i could target my friends and people that annoy me that have planets in my database.

if u can target them to speed up duals i would like it i hate having to fined them in the battle tab

There was the one artifact that I created in my Autherian mission chain:
Autherian Interceptor (artifact, allows you to find an enemy player's ship instantly), looks like a green containment missle with a lens in front and blue wing flaps of a subspace seeker.

I like the one that add the % bonus to some of the ships stats the most i hope Dan considers making it. the one from betrayer mission.
but the green containment missal would be good for this but in some games if you don't right the name exactly it gets wasted there should be a way to not let that happen like a if you don't fined some on it comes back to inventory.
edit: i fixed it .

But that would not be a bad idea. A green condiment missal to to shoot at the enemy be for you eat them... yes that's right Sillixx will grill you up and eat you. Ever wonder what happen when your crew member dies during an invade. WE EAT HIM so some thing to think about be for you invade me.

Wasabi missiles?? Just kidding SP, my daughter sucks at spelling too...
