Indestructible nav beacons

Just a minor thing but I find it a bit annoying the nav beacons are practically indestructible: I just hit one doing 100m/s and it took my Milspec armoured Cobra from 100% everything to 0- the other day I hit an Anaconda doing the same speed and I had about 40% hull left after the hit.

I've naturally started over and wiped my save (Ironman rules) but why can't beacons be points in space rather than indestructible lumps of pain?

On the bright side, I'm off to play with a Viper!

It would likely have lots of mass wouldn't it, as it doesn't have to accelerate. Kudos for sticking to your Ironman rules.
 
They aren't indestructible, not even practically. If you shoot at them, you can destroy them. They are also pretty obvious and they make noise. Sorry you didn't see it but I've never personally come close to running into one.
