Wing beacon on by deafault

The wing beacon shenanigans is really out of hand. Players must have found a benefit to using them.

What is wrong with you, FDev? Why do you have this catastrophic irrational need to negate absolutely every use of a possible positive feature?

Personally, I think it's about players using each other, and Alt accounts as anchors. I was almost tempted to buy a third account, just for that purpose, but I'm not making any purchases until the nonsense settles down. My wing beacon turns off seemingly randomly. Today I had that happen when docked and when leaving a CZ. This is absurd. Does not make sense.

why? playing this game with mates makes it soo much better!

Maybe you need new friends. Where are you and who are you working for? Are you Imp, Fed, Alliance or independent?
 
Yeah the beacon is just so weird. If it had the option to just be public, so that even after your wake people could join you, then I would understzand the option to turn it off, but as off now, it should be always on.

What I want to know is: What is the use case for turning beacon OFF?

Also +support for FIXING it.
It turns off randomly.
If a wingmate rebuys, they can't see beacons until you toggle yours (else they can't see where you are).

^ this is basic stuff FD... get it fixed.
Let's test this in the beta and bug report if it still isn't fixed.
