so i was thinking about the xecti pathway detector

it seems to me to be a powered-up version of what could be a common artifact

pathway detector : planet trap , best when used on a planet that has not been scanned by another player , activates when scanned by another player , sends an alert to the owner when the planet has been scanned by another player . does not give name or legion of the player and has no other effects , trap stays for a month or until set off

perhaps make it a drop from a new common/uncommon npc, a repeatable mission , a green badge item , or if the artifact forging idea comes into play it could be one you manufacture <perhaps the first one , lol>
