Do we really need spawnbeacons?

I completely disagree. Previous drop-control and accuracy with the drop pods was more then obnoxious and couldn't be countered beyond running through the killzone to destroy the beacon. The squad-beacon nerf helps to actually define battle-lines for a enjoyable fight. Squad Beacons serve only as a spawn and that's it.

The Galaxy drops is your alternative to drop behind the battle-line and disrupt the zerg. It's a giant target so you can actually defend against it. My issue is you need some weapon option outside of the main-cannon on a MBT or a Dalton/TankBuster Lib to destroy the Galaxy.

Skyguard, Burster, and Lock-Ons only serve as a deterrent. Air is the only hard-counter to air seems a little to blanketed IMO for the rock-paper-scissors theme PS2 is starting to go down.



EDIT: Not promoting another AA fiasco to repeat itself... I'm asking for a hard-counter to specifically the Galaxy over the general blanketed "Air is the only hard-counter to Air" that we have. IMO When we have a hard-coutner to the Galaxy, then will the Squad Beacon be signifigantly relevant again.
