Playing SP survival, (Star Sytem) vehicles are paramount for keeping the avatar alive, if you lose them you are toast. So the beacon signal should never be hidden by the game if it is within range.

If you go into space and GPS a few asteroid deposits and leave your ship with beacon landed at one to attend to business in a suit a few clicks away, you lose the ship signal, because it is mixed in with the GPS and edited out by the game UI.

Look at these screenshots and ask yourself, which asteroid cluster did I leave my ship at, was it the Astral cluster or the Muses? Can you tell from the information displayed?

A beacon or antenna is non functional in these circumstances, which obliges one to make a GPS to record where the vehicle was parked, with always visible on.

It would play better if functionality for a beacon was at least as good as GPS, including an always visible option and you should be able to select colour as well, to make it stand out from the background noise.

I would go further and say the beacon should integrate with GPS and effectively provide a GPS updated in real time if in transmission range, giving you a last known GPS signal if you are out of range with the ability to select the colour and visibility just like a GPS, which would distinguish its usefulness in relation to the Antenna and free players from laborious micro.cdc4b6ef28b51994b4a19bda80b5c0859c527aa63699f0979c8e781d6ee8535d
