1.7b2

Containers (like the ones around Korolov stations) now appear on the LRS but as a solid green dot, not the former hollow green dot. And also do not change colour from green to grey after they have been docked at. Possibly the new LRS image/code for nav beacons is being used instead of the generic wreck or container image/code.

And feedback - having the nav beacons as a solid dot on the LRS is great. I no longer continuously mistake them for wrecks/containers and try to loot them.

I think the change is deliberate, but I'd definitely make them go grey after you've messed with them.

Beacons are a thing that's sometimes helpful to know the position of, but can otherwise be ignored. Containers are a thing you can get loot from, and want to know if you've checked already. So I'm happy about the change to beacons, but containers should match wrecks.

This also applies to cargo crates.

I'd really like this fixed. As long as some things you can loot have the same icon as beacons, you have to check everything with that icon, or miss out on possible loot.

This resulted from this change to fix beacons. I guess this is the right approach, since small stations should not, in general, look like wrecks on LRS. It's just that there are several that we do want to do so. So I think the solution is to check for the object being a wreck or having an attribute like Lootable or LRSWreckIcon, and add that attribute to these stations:
stWeaponsCrate
stCargoCrate
stGenericCargoCrate
stSealedCargoContainer
stFlotsam
stDallSphere

There are other potential improvements to be made (see LRS Improvements), but I realized there's a quick fix for this one issue. Just make abandoned ship-scale stations look like wrecks, and make these particular station types always abandoned:

Resolved as 1.9b3 has new icons.
