Advanced border beacons.

[Playwars]

As you may already know, the frontier outposts gives you control over an area because of it's in-built basic border beacon, what I propose is that you have access to the frontier outpost design in the ship designer and that technologies let you unlock more advanced border beacons.
So, what do you think ?

Debris from Frontier Outposts actually do contain "advanced border beacons", but they don't actually produce anything when researched. I agree this would be nice.

I'm just playing my first game right now and I was expecting to have this later in the game. It makes sense.

Also I'm going to ask something here if you don't mind, is there any way to know how far is your outpost going to reach? Cause sometimes there are 3 interesting systems close and you want the outpost in the middle, but maybe you're not sure if you're getting the 3 of them.

I tried the Alpha Mod yesterday and there is a ship design for outposts available with an extra beacon component. Would fit in vanilla too but outposts imho need a bit of an overhaul anyway.

I'm sorry but I don't know, I mostly do it on instinct, sorry....

It would be nice. Upgraded border beacons and the ability to add some defensive structures like a defensive for has (albeit with far fewer slots) to make them power up a bit.
