 Rock Hermit Beacons OXP tries to bring the Rock Hermits closer to that story. It:
-*adds beacons with diverse ranges - from 50km up to the whole system - to the majority of the Rock Hermits (Pirate Coves included), allowing them to be found through an Advanced Space Compass and be seen in the 'In-system distances' Station Interface screen (F4);

-It doesn't add beacons to all Rock Hermits it finds, since some of them would be true hermits (and desire to be left alone), some would want to keep a low profile and not attract attention (from the government, from the police, from criminal gangs... the reason would vary with the Rock Hermit role and system government's meddling), and some simply can't afford yet to buy and maintain a beacon.

 Finally, the time comes when there are few useful asteroids around them, and they have the choice of moving on to richer fields, leaving an abandoned rock hermit, or converting into a station-like business, offering servicing, equipment, market, accommodation, etc., for which a still wider range beacon is needed to allow them to attract a larger clientele.

-Most Rock Hermits start as mining communities in an asteroid-rich region, often on a shoestring budget (it's a huge capital investment), with no beacon - or a beacon with very limited range but still useful to find the way home in the asteroid field.

 As time goes by, their wealth hopefully increases and they can afford wider range beacons, which they might need since they have to go further to mine, as the asteroids closer to them become depleted of useful minerals by their mining activities.

 It does three things, and all of them can be controlled by properties in the Rock Hermit's ship.script, so the Rock Hermit's creator can control what this OXP does with its creation.

 *Finally, it manages beacon visibility based on their range and the player's ship position. The beacon's range can be defined (in game meters) through '''ship.script.$rhbBeaconRange''', and whenever '''ship.script.$rhbCreateBeacon''' is "no" Rock Hermit Beacons will not change the beacon's visibility to On even if the beacons's range is defined and the player's ship moves into range, allowing the RH's creator to keep the beacon Off through that property.
