[Request] 7.00 Rescue Reminder is needed.

Love the rescue mechanic and that NPCs can be saved now...
However...

Sometimes you can end up with a someone needing rescuing, but miss it. I, in fact, just lost my top pilot, but it was useful cos now I can make this request. I was really busy way over in Yaki land and didn't realise her ship was gone and she was floating helplessly in space on her dwindling oxygen. Last I remember was telling her to Flee, before going back to what I was doing. I guess her ship was destroyed and she floated until she died.

I suggest we have a 5 minute `mayday` or `call` system. The stranded person makes an audio call every 5 minutes (or one call per ship group) or there's a 'Mayday' heads-up text message every 5 minutes in the lower left corner until they die. This emergency Mayday text/call can be switched off by the Player if he wishes.

Do Xenon and Kha'ak target the escape pods? I saw them destroy NPC ones all the time prior to 7.00 beta.

I don't know. I never got to see how this npc died cos it was like an hour later before I noticed she and the ship were no more. It was dying of lack of air or maybe being shot, dunno.
