that's actually not too bad a tactic: place several beacons in harmless locations, and they get complacent. Then one on the pedestal, and they're finished. 
And you just gotta love the field repair people... some dumb artie driver jumped out right at the base entrance on city, and about a minute later my jacked ride had decimated PP, airstrip, and Ob. n00bs are wonderful...as long as they're not on YOUR team. I mean, how can you resist an enemy engie repairing you? It's just so perfect....they shoot you with the repair gun instead of their buildings...
