... they are getting more and more ... and more. Blinking spots wherever you look - the momentary solution has no future. It definitely needs a 'manageable Beacon HUD simulation'. So you choose your beacon resp. waypoint - the good old way. The 'real' beacon lights may exist but only visible in direct compound. True?

    I think an active beacon system is a hassle, especially the dropped beacons.

    Since there would be no GPS due to the crashing scenario, I think the player should deploy an underwater LORAN style system. This would add some busy work, res sinks and a steady approach to exploration.

    Each navigation node would have a range limit (500m?) and form a mesh that you could navigate within and know your location and that of your equipment. Also within the mesh you could create a map that could have POI markers and drop virtual beacons. Outside of that range you would have to use your judgement to navigate and risk not finding you way back.

    Or maybe have the option to change the color of the beacons so you can tell one from another.
