Tow and Marker-Beacon function for Rover

Tow and Radio-Beacon function for Rover

Real story.
The first gameplay of version 5 of the game.
Ivan connected - he had no suit, and he respawned when the Bio base used to be, but now ther's only a field.
I was driving like crazy to get to him in time in night (so was Hyper and Marcus).
Apparently...I ran over a rock size of a footbal and gained +300 ware :P
I was trapped in a midlle of nowhere ;D
When Marcus came to save me (TY Marcus! ;)) we couln't just leave the Rover behind....
The bottom line is...I REELY needed 2 Rover functions at that time:
1) Marcus came in a Rover - in real life (even on Mars) he would have Tow me to the base.
2) If Towing is not possible at the moment - we would have gladly left it there untill we had time to salvage it later but - since it was in a middle of a nowhere, it would be troublesome. It would be nice to activate a Marker-beacon from inside the Rover. Firstly - it would show a blinking light on the map, so that we could easily find it.
Secondly - it would add "SALVAGE HERCULES 2" to the WORK ORDERS, so that no-one could forget it.
It is likely that martian vehicles would have such an option.
