Beacon - wing only? What about May-day, Distress?

[Boff'in]

It would be nice to whack on a beacon for the local players so that they could see you are under attack, or need fuel, need assistance.

The Beacons naturally only are clickable, when
"Under attack"
"Hull low"
"Fuel low"

and you are not in a wing or squadron.

I think that was the intention, but it never got implemented.

I keep suggesting ideas for beacons. Squadron beacon would be particularly handy too.

And a "free type" beacon, so you can basically organise events, like "SRV Rally Starting Line".

Some Beacon variety would be great. I support this, but not too many settings, so an not to clutter the UI at all.

Wing Beacon
Emergency Beacon
General Beacon

That's all we need, really. And it could be nice emergent content if we can set an emergency Beacon to launch an ambush too.

(In other words, Fuel Rats would always want to use wing beacons, regardless of the options.)
