Jump beacon query

Post by Snafu_X3 »

I've never had this adequately explained :(

What's the difference between the 2.5MCr version ('single use') & the 250MCr version?

I guess that the former can only be deployed once, while the latter can be redeployed anywhere?.. but I've no idea :? Surely it wouldn't make sense to deploy a 'single use' jump beacon for 2.5MCr only to have it self-destruct if a single (player/NPC) ship jumps to it..?

didn't tried it yet, but from description it says that it has "limited life-span". I suppose it works like a regular jump beacon

The single use ones are a one time use jump beacon, they last for 5 minutes after deploying them, and you can't pick them up once deployed

You can jump as many ships to it within that 5 minute window though

So an 'emergency' jump point for (eg) a critical fleet defence/attack order? That still seems on the pricey side.. :(
