As often as this suggestion is brought up, you'd think there might be some merit to the pervasive "Bug Fix Issue." You would be mistaken.
As for the beacons...
1) How does one rather small addition like that (that might not be technically possible), constitute enough extra to be called an issue?
2) How often do people really need to exit straight to a different SG base anyway?
PS: As an unrelated note, I made a version of your avatar that is transparent.
Well, this gets brought up every now and again. However, the answer remains the same:
The people who can find and fix the various bugs aren't the same people that are making new content/powersets. As such, if there was an issue devoted to just fixing bugs, there may be a lot of people at Paragon Studios (like the art department) just sitting on their hands, not doing anything.
As such, I fully support them trying to get bug fixes in as they can, but not making a whole issue devoted to bug fixing.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I was just the one with the most unsolicited sombrero." - Traegus
If such an issue would help solve even a single bug faster, then I would /sign it. However, as the above poster already mentioned, new content and bug fixing are handled by different people/departments, so an issue like that would make little to no sense.
Considering how many people have been screaming their insides out about how there has been "no new content" since, like, Issue 7 or something, I'd say such an Issue would be incredibly poorly received.

I just wonder what some of the bug fixing staff are doing, sometimes.
I mean, the Snake Cave mission maps in mercy are STILL borked, no matter how many times I /bugged it.
Are square rocks normal to you? Square terrain? I think not...someone turned the smoothing maps off by accident, methinks...

Not enough for an issue but certainly enough for several patches. Issues shouldn't be used for such trivial matters only. They should be robust and chock-full of cool stuff to do, leaving you with a full belly and a desire to burp and ask for the dessert cart once more.

Nevertheless, I thought it might be kewl. |

When you get the missions to go into the caves on mercy island to deal with the snakes you will see many of the rocks are blocky. They used to be smooth then a few issues back they turned to blocky.

yes - it's annoying - the rocks used to be so much better.
But they have fixed the npcs in the Vault, who are once again sitting on the chairs not standing in them, so there's always hope.
