Transfer "signals" to beacon list

Now that there is a beacon list (in experimental mode) which allows you to switch on and off beacon signals, why not add the lifepod and alien "signals" to this list instead of dropping into the iinventory as an entity item? That allows you to switch them on and off without having to equip them in the chip/hud upgrade slots.

    That would be nice, instead of every damn signal occupuing either your eqipment slot or a places in storage

    Omg, I want to see this happen so bad. Also - bases you build should have a default beacon I would think.

    I'd put the beacon (+ custom name) function into the Communications Relay, that seems logical. It also makes it more of an incentive to put comm relays in bases.

    Just as I was about to suggest that :)

    Bonus, it meshes rather nicely with the comm relay's new ability to transmit a notification to your HUD that you have a new message.


    Another idea: perhaps the ability to receive messages remotely using a headset craftable with a computer chip and a copper wire, equipped to the slots where the signals currently reside (you could take it off when not listening to messages, sort of like a Bluetooth headset).

    I wonder if I should make a separate thread for that? Or will the devs see it here? I don't know how far down the threads they read. Hmm. Thoughts? (I really want to be able to mark my bases without dropping a beacon outside, it just feels wrong, lol. Beacons seem right for miscellaneous stuff you want to come back to, not your bases.)

    I couldn't agree more about beacons.

    Yes. It's annoying having all those signals taking up space and you don't want to get rid of them because you want to go back to that place sometime to explore more or find materials.
