Adjust "Portable Beacon" to lower tier
Since we have no other way of marking maps, the "portable beacon" needs to be adjusted as it is currently useless for marking maps because the crafting materials required make it WAY too expensive to make one, much less multiples. I suggest either of the following:
move the beacon to tier 3 & require only 5 steel, 10 electronics, 2 cement, and 10 steel screws;
or better yet,
move the beacon to tier 2 & require 10 iron, 10 copper, and 10 wood (similar construction costs to the orbital exchange interface).
I could see leaving the dropship recall beacon in tier 4, though I think that would be better served in t3 also).

EwenI would say to yes move the tier 4 down to tier 3 & maybe have a new tier 4 beacon which has the ability to change it’s marker colour and shape like a red cave or blue target like on the missions but for OW.

cmopatrickWhile I do think you could have lowered the requirements a bit more (look at how many threads ask for more map markers or pins)., You have at least done something along the lines of what this thread asked for. You can mark this done and I can make a new thread that asks for further reductions.
