Here is my proposed solution to this. It has it's drawbacks, maybe someone else knows how to make it better;

When you are undercover and watching a player, chances are you have joined with a noob-like name, or at least an unregistered one. And what do noobs do best? Stand in random places afk, right?

So, we mark a handful (10 or so) coordinates in the usual spots of afk-ness... on the ship, by the escalators, in the streets of LV, etc.

When an undercover uses /watch, their character is placed standing at one of these spots randomly. Now, we are undercover watching a player with our hax, and our character is standing in the middle of some street. If a player teleports to us, they teleport to our character who is just standing in the street. If they shoot at us, we take no damage. Just as if we alt+tabbed or something. Also using /locate will show the location of the character.

I don't know the proper method of going about that, whether or not it creates some temporary NPC with the undercover user's skin, or whatever, but I think that it can certainly be done, and would be quite effective for being sneaky.

One major drawback I forsee is that keen players may be onto us after a while. They will remember what spots the bots usually stand on.
