Galaxy City beacon question

As the title says, we've got a doubt about keeping or removing this beacon, cause using it causes to be bounced back, in our case to Atlas Park, no idea if it's because that's the other location attached to the telepad, or some kind of default option... so... will be provided with an "Echo Galaxy City beacon", or shall we remove it?

Well, you can travel to the echo version of Galaxy City with it, so you can use it for new charas to go there for the badges, or just for sightseeing.

Except for the team teleporter, no base teleporter pad is actually needed for anything, it's just a nice thing to have. Back then, with less train stations, no Ouroboros or mission/zone teleport powers, a well-connected teleporter room was a major plus for any supergroup. Today, with all the new ways to travel, if you need the space in your base you could certainly remove a few telepads and probably no one would even notice.

Note, however, that the number of available blueside teleport beacons is even. If you want to get rid of a teleporter in your base, you will also lose a second destination.

I believe the arcane version of the beacon will bounce you back to AP.
The tech version, however, supposedly takes you to Echo Galaxy.
The only other way to Echo Galaxy is through Oro, which is gated to lvl 14+ characters.

So, the question becomes, do you want your super low lowbies to have access to Echo Galaxy?
If yes, then you may want to keep a tech version of the beacon at your base.

Thx for your replies and thx Kat for your explanation... obviously it makes non-sense not only having a room full of telepads, having Ouro portal, Mission Teleporter, double trains and ferries, nowadays, but even so it can be useful because of the cooldown having a base access to places like Dark Astoria, Creys Folly, Eden or so. Given that the only thing that could be useful Galaxy would be its badges, I'll explain the whole thing to the SG leader so he can make the appropiate changes and get a tech telepad.

I took my Arcane Galaxy Beacon and put it floating in a hologram pedestal as a memorial. It is connected to nothing but it looks great.

I haven't changed ours, but it Would be really nice if they'd recode the bloody thing already. It's bad enough that the bases took quite a few hits in the aftermath of Freedom. There's likely going to be many bases simply going dark (rent lapsing) as people take the Preem path.
