After 10 hours gameplay I decided to go to another planet last night. I touched down and walked to my right for about 15 minutes of real-life earth minutes and finally came upon a settlement that was quite spread out. My backpack was full so I beamed up to my ship to empty my sac! Deciding to beam back again I realised what would happen. I beamed back to the original spawn point! Not wanting to walk for another 15 earth minutes to get back to where I was previously I left the planet. I think a good idea would be to have a limited number of beacons per planet that you can set as teleporter points that you can only beam to from your ship. I bet if I had walked left there would have been a large civilisation full of naked Hyotl beauties!! Edit: Is there any Mods that do this? I realised this has been mentioned here already: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/bookmarks-warping-redux.76956/
Being able to set your spawn location on a planet is something that is on the to do list, but not important right now. I imagine this'll go in the same time npc quests are put in, or pretty soon afterwards.
Beacons are definitely something that the game could benefit from, especially being able to place multiple ones on the same planet.
