Turn off Warning Beacon?
« on: May 20, 2017, 10:25:39 PM »
I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off the Warning Beacons once you cleared all the baddies inside the system?

I don't remember which ones I've cleared, so sometimes I find myself going into empty systems, sigh, then reloading.

Haven't I suggested that already?  :P

EDIT: Thought so. http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12000.0 Gonna bump it because it's something a lot of people want.

Also, someone else made a similar suggestion more recently. http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12202.0

 Yeah the ability to mark and make notes on systems definitely needs to be a thing

Yeah, that would be nice.  Right now, I am using surveying to 'mark' systems as complete or incomplete...probably not the intention of that skill  ;)


Edit:
Also, once the Outpost mechanics are in place for the player, I want to be able to take over a Red level system and reprogram the Beacon to say "Get Off My Lawn!"

I agree with both ideas of being able to turn the warning beacons off and putting custom markers on the map for better memorization of where one has been.
