The following parts are included with this mod:
- LB-10 "Shortcut" - The smallest beacon, it's highly efficient at distances up to around a billion meters and can operate in the highest gravity of any of the beacon models. It is not particularly impacted by tonnage and has extremely low cost-per-ton at very short range. Ideal for transit between areas in the same planetary SOI.
- LB-15 "Meander" - A 2.5m beacon, this midrange part is capable of transferring lighter ships over interplanetary distances but suffers from crippling inefficiencies for ships above about 50 tons. A solid core for a transportation network with reasonable gravity restrictions and low cost-per-km.
- LB-100 "Longbow" - The largest beacon from the ESLD, it isn't particularly cost-effective at transfers but does not suffer the same weight limitations as the LB-15. It also comes with severe gravity restrictions that preclude operation anywhere near a large body, so convenient access is a challenge. However, when sending heavy ships over tens of billions of meters it cannot be matched in both fuel economy and spread from the target beacon.
