Seperate the Beacon for the Sensor Overlay from FW Acceleration Gates

Probably a common issue - when the Sensor Overlay is active, and you warp to an acceleration gate, you can't select the icon for the acceleration gate by hovering over it since the Overlay will actually block the hover list from appearing. Below is a picture of what I'm talking about:

Normally this wouldn't be an issue for an acceleration gate, since you can simply right click on another part of the gate and Activate Gate. However, with faction warfare acceleration gates, it's often relatively important to be able to activate the gate as soon as you land. While it's still possible to use the rest of the gate to go in, it's extremely difficult while in warp - the hover menu corrects this problem as you can easily highlight and select the acceleration gate while coming out of warp.

I think it would benefit pretty much everyone to separate the overlay effect from the acceleration gate since it lets you get into the complex faster to get point on someone (hunter) or slide in straight out of warp to avoid a hostile gang waiting on the gate (target).
