AI Blocks should be able to get same-grid reference beacon
So the AI blocks like recorder and basic can have a reference beacon right ? but it cannot have a reference beacon on the same grid. And here's why this should be allowed :
I have ships that split in half or in 3 (with merge blocks to control thrusters and avoid subgrids and scripts) with one part being controlled by me, and the other following me and engaging threats. However, i have to use remote access to set reference beacon in AI Recorder (and AI Basic to follow me) back to them every time before telling them to dock back to the main ship. the only workaround is putting the reference beacon on a rotor on the main ship, but as you know, subgrids are best avoided, and sometimes not permitted in servers...
So maybe the behaviour should be in error while de reference beacon is on the same grid to avoid any janky behaviour or useless code execution, but still work without input when splitting the two parts
I like this feedback
