The Nav Beacons

[Taifu]

Oh, its a "Space is biggity big big" thread again. Haven't seen one of these for a little while.

I've always taken navigation beacons as in system signposts with absolutely nothing to do with other systems. It's a detailed system map that can even provide information on the whereabouts of npc's or current local emissions.

That is, indeed, their current function, and a lot better than what they were for a long time. It's still nothing to what they were -supposed- to be initially, but, as with many things, that ship has sailed and we have what we have now.
