I don't know why they make such a song and dance when you activate them. Same with Loba's black market, the charge towers and the replicators. It's not difficult to spot enemies, so I don't know why these extra hints are needed.
How about making the loot bins around respawn beacons locked until the beacon is activated? That way respawning players have a chance of gearing up before they are attacked.
Having said that I do like the thrill of landing naked (you know what I mean) when you know there are enemies around. It's quite the skill to survive, get geared up then head back and polish off the people who wanted an easy kill.
It would be good if you could activate a respawn beacon without a banner. You could draw enemies and take them out. The drop ship wouldn't arrive though, so it'd be the enemies fault if they get nailed.
