Low effort offshoot of colonization gameplay for those who just want to show off some system or planet. CMDR could purchase a tourist beacon and deploy it to a location of his choosing. There would be some nominal weekly maintenance cost along with a report about how many CMDRs have visited the beacon during the week. There might even be some profit if a sightseeing mission visited the beacon.
To keep it from getting out of hand, the amount of beacons one player can place could be limited. Perhaps as little as 1 per CMDR. The beacon could work better if the player could write a description or at least a title for the beacon, but it's not strictly necessary.
