Description Summary
Relay Beacons are used to triangulate the position of a Hyperspeed Access Point. Placing three of them, in specific positions, will unlock the ability to activate an Interplanetary Drive System and use it to travel to Remote System Locations. Once the triangulation is complete, the Relay Beacons are tied to the Hyperspeed Access Point and cannot be retrieved.
Relay Beacons can only be constructed at the Spacelab Headquarters, where their calibration with the Low Frequency Locator is fine-tuned to ensure precise calculations.

In a 3D sim, a minimum of /four/ beacons should be used to triangulate the relevant point (one being off the ecliptic, resulting in a tetrahedral layout), but whatever

Quadrangulate, you mean?
But, hey, the wiimote manages to do it with 2. Presumably your ship could be the 4th, as well.
