Probes and Beacons Page

Some technologies in game provide you with the ability to build other spatial objects than just ships:

Beacons: those are some kind of satellites that can be placed around a planet. The basic model is placed in hyperspace and provides some kind of anchor or fixed reference point for ships located in hyperspace around the planet, thus limiting ships losses. More advanced models, with scanning abilities and such will be available in further versions of the game.
Probes: those small unmanned vessels can be sent to other planets to scan for the fleets and other defenses, along with planetary improvements. Those will be available in further versions of the game.

This page presents a list of all the planets you own along with some beacon related information. For each planet, it includes

Planet name: the name of the planet is a link to the planet's individual page
Coordinates: the coordinates of the planet on the map
Beacon information: it's either No beacon if there is no beacon around the planet, or the type of beacon
Beacon upgrade information: if you have the required technology to install or upgrade a beacon, a button is available, to install or upgrade the beacon, at a cost. If not, an information message states there is no upgrade available.
