Lay Distress Beacon Not Working

I was in a game by myself just messing with things, and one of the things I tried to use was a distress beacon. I don't know if the ship has to be stopped or not for it to work. I tried laying a beacon from a wraith and a chomper, and I tried both while moving and standing still. It didn't work either way.

I'm not sure about the distress beacon tooltip but it would be a good idea to add that it can only be used by the minelayer.

It can only be used by the Minelayer. No other ship has the ability.

Of course, but there is an inconsistency in CC:
Repair bots (item) can be used by clicking on it in the inventory.
Distress beacon (item as well) gotta be used by the apprioriate mine layer skill.
This could easily confuse players, as that's the reason for this topic :p
-> You should add "Can only be used by mine layer." to the distress beacon and add a "Plant repair station" skill to marines.

I've clarified the tooltips on the Mine Layer. Hopefully, it should be clearer now.
