Need do something with this FW beacons. Let em go. Please let em go from overview. Cyno beacons must be other objects than FW beacons. Shocked
And this is only small list of FW beacons, sometimes it can be arround 10-12 easy.

if its an offensive system for you run them all.

If its defensive camp them for red kills...I dont know how you cant tell whats a beacon/mission and whats a cyno.

SImple solution: Add more colors to the beacon icons.

Cyno beacons can be red, fw or fw mission complexes can be green, and places like abandoned research outposts or whatever can be blue. In-space agents are already yellow so there's no reason we can't have more colors.

For me better solution change them in overiview settings.
FW beacon must be FW beacon. (can switch them off/on)
Cyno beacons must be cyno beacons.(can switch them off/on)

I would be careful with them colors.

If your lowsec system gets a visit from another 'faction' to run down your plexes and your overview is filling up you may have a pretty colored overview (purple, blue, almost blue, orange, red, red blinking, purple blinking).

Maybe just another simple icon that is not a triangle would do, like a diamond thingy with four edges.

Yes, some form of distinction or new symbol would be useful. But personally, I like it how it is since the FW beacons obscure my cynos.
Lol

I could see the shapes idea being better since it's friendlier towards our color-blind pilots. +1
