Are you implying however subtly that this is some kind of thargoid trap like the Mass Effect storyline...
Well their is a LOT of them... is it 400,000,000,000?
Say they all took 4 guys 2 hours to install in at each star...
You get where I'm going here, right..?

That's a good question... if they're not installed near non-inhabited suns, how do CMDRs navigate to them?
If you can navigate to non-inhabited suns without then, then what are they for?

They are only in populated systems, and do nothing functional.
For some reason NPCs with bounties like to drop out of supercruise next to the beacons and hang around to be shot. No one knows why.
Jumping to new star systems always targets the star, not the nav beacon.

Look over there, a thargoid!!!
This has been talked about before, The nav beacons give the coordinates of the system's stations. Any system with a station will have a beacon, and you will never need to use a discovery scanner to find a station.
THANK YOU. How many of them are there then?

NAV beacons aren't what the FSD locks onto, it locks onto the stars themselves.

Wow, that actually makes sense, sort of. Thanks.

Looking at the number of inhabited systems available... one sec, doing the math here.... carry the 4, add the 7.....
Over 9,000
Thank you Valethar, so roughly 9000 * 4 hours (appx.), working 8 hour days is just a touch under 12 years.
Hardly going out of ones way to drop one off if your already building and shipping in millions of tons of material for a stations.Something like that would be prefabbed and dropped off first when a station is being planned in a new system, logicaly, to assist incoming supplies, adding a new station to an existing beacon would be a simple matter of getting close enough for comms and updating its info.
