I've played lots of games with a full squad but no spawn beacon, even after I've asked in voice and text if they could drop one. Can the permission to drop the beacon be reworked? Some may suggest to make a new squad but often no one will join that new squad.
-
Spawn beacon drop vote: the spawn beacon drops could be a vote, where any squad member requests to drop a beacon somewhere, and members approve or reject the idea. That way it can prevent squad leaders from not dropping beacons, especially when members are interested but the squad leader is being unresponsive and/or not willing to pass leader to someone else.
-
Suggested spawn beacon drop locations: perhaps to make it easier the game suggests locations to build a space beacon, and the leader just has to walk to that point and press E.

Spawn beacon skins or different kind of model unlocks based on squad leaders rank/achievements.
