Please be aware that the Avatar display function on the Hazeron Website contains information which can be used to extrapolate the position of every avatar. My understanding is that because the Avatar page on the website displays the Home planet/berth of an Avatar usually this information defaults to the Homeworld of a player. The Homeworld of player is by default named after the home system, which is named via a code which is directly related to the system's XYZ coordinates in the universe.

In the last online universe some players maintained awareness on many player's locations via recording their home system name and then calculating it's relative position. The bottom line is that you should remove this information from the avatar page and be on the lookout for similar information which could be used to figure out player position.

I think honestly you could remove the ability to view that Avatar information page from the website as I am not sure what Genuine purpose it could serve beyond providing tons of valuable info to competitors.

To add to this, I think you should make any avatar's page only showing minor informations like money, political title, physical informations but no stats. They could be used for a character description. Could be nice to get some public empire description too.
Ah and get rid of "online avatars" too, there has been too much abuse for what it adds (you can especially make a program that scans the page and send a notification when someone is online/offline, so you can attack whenever it favors you.)
