When you initially activate an acceleration gate and “slide” into the plex, you will arrive within 2.5km of a “beacon” in space. Ensure this beacon is visible on your overview.
When you initially activate an acceleration gate and “slide” into the plex, you will arrive within 2.5km of a “beacon” in space. This beacon should be visible on your overview as you land, if not, adjust your overview settings to display it, as this is a key factor in plex combat.


Any ship entering the plex will also arrive within 2.5km of this beacon – there is no way to warp in at range. The exception is Large plex, which have no acceleration gate, and therefore can be warped to at range.

The beacon is key to fighting in a plex, as it means that when inside a plex, you know exactly where an enemy ship will enter. Likewise, when entering a plex where an opponent is already within, they will have positioned themselves knowing where you will appear. This always gives a slight advantage when fighting to the ship which is already inside the plex, and much of the meta of faction warfare PvP is based around this mechanic.
The beacon is key to fighting in a plex, as it means that when inside a plex, you know almost exactly where an enemy ship will enter. Likewise, when entering a plex where an opponent is already within, they will have positioned themselves knowing where you will appear. This always gives a slight advantage when fighting to the ship which is already inside the plex, and a large part of the various trategies for frighting in a plex is based around this mechanic.
