Planet Def bases can fire Torps, Why not Beacons too?
The range of a beacon is not all that great, and if a ship gets within beacon range it is almost ceratinly a Bomber, so why not beacon it ? I know it would defeat the purpose of ECM bombing and Kluth cloaked Clavates....... but THAT is the point.

Scouts will have a small purpose next version, and that is to land a beacon on an ECM/Cloaked ship. They'll most likley be killed in the process, but they'll get their faction the target they need. Defense bases shouldnt have Beacons, that'd be like giving K'luth defense bases Stellar Incinerators.

I think if ICC bases got torps they would have to lose the pulse beams

Defense bases will not be changed significantly. If they are changed at all, they will most probably get more missiles, not torps.

Personally I think giving the def bases beacons would be a good idea because all factions have use of ECM and to land a beacon on a ship would make the ecm useless (maybe).
Also if the lag issue is not going to be fixed could the Def bases maybe have something that doen't cause as much lag? (get rid of the missles and give them something just as good but with out the lag)

I had an idea about bumping up the range of beacons by quite some bit. Allowing them to fling them about at some range - but at the same time, lower the reload speed of the device, so that they can't spam them.

How about beacons being a AOE-weapon, where the "explosion" of a beacon would cause cloak to be disabled for a short time.
This way scouts could lob beacons in a direction, "detonate" it and hope to find someone. Ofcourse it shouldn't last too long, just to give a hint of possible enemies, and a slow reload time would be prefered
