Pointless Features

I'm beginning to notice some fatal flaws in the Lifeline, mainly to do with the glowing line concept.

Imagine you're flying over the sea at night, searching in vain for a head bobbing between the waves. Suddenly a glow appears on the horizon, as you get closer your realise that a spirla of light is leading you right to the MOB. He has been rescued at least half an hour before the search pattern was set to get there, half an hour that would have been 20 minutes too long.

Now picture that same scene but during the day. Hanging out oft he helicopter in vain, following the search pattern. Half an hour later you fly over the spot where he was and continue along the planned route with a heavy heart.

Unless it is night-time this product is essentially useless. How can I get round this and solve the problem?

On the bright side I'm putting some usb ports in the charging hub that will ensure an opportunity for the crew to charge any devices they have on board from a single outlet, freeing up limited resources within the boat.

3d graphene has also just been invented in the lab(http://www.nims.go.jp/mana/research/highlight/vol9.html). Tensile strength exceeding 1TPa - that would be an interesting material to use! Unfortunately it cannot currently be mass produced.
