Topic: Beacon - Incorrect Faction

I went out on Shinjalar to initiate a level 1 indy beacon (2 chevrons with a star) but the first wave of bots were blue.

Of course I wasn't fitted correctly so I bailed.

Is this 'as designed' or bug?

Indi Beacons now spawn a random faction of heavies usually 3 i think.

Wow. Doing beacons solo is really worthless now. Another no fun thing in this game.

Normal Indi should only spawn indy. But Star Beacon have 3 random combat NPCs of 5th Tier in first wave.
As soon as you are able to deal with 3 random assault solo, you can still solo small industrial star beacon, it is just not as easy as it was once. For Mech beacons I strongly advice help smile

Re: Beacon - Incorrect Faction

funny fact, zoom tried to callout Sunny because he did a lot of beacons when it was just a single indi spawn.  Everyone reminded zoom that it had been like that for years, but he insisted beacons were supposed to be like that from the beginning.
