Very few people are bothering to build spawn beacons, to the point that they are fairly rare.
To make the process as simple as possible, it would help if any squad that has an engineer in it gets a ‘build spawn beacon’ command option in the command wheel.
Once selected you’d get the outline of a spawn beacon, as if you’re the engineer. Once you left click where you want it, the engineer would then start building it for you.
I would love this. My brother never builds spawn beacons because he hates playing as an engineer. So whenever he spawns a squad that has an engineer, he switches troops to an assaulter or other class. He understands why the beacons are useful, but it’s annoying to have to play a class you hate, run off somewhere, and pray you can drop down a beacon before getting killed. He would much rather play a class he likes, like an assaulter with an SMG, than an engineer just to build a rally point.
If you could give orders to your squad to build a rally, that would solve the problem pretty handily.
I know how he feels. It doesn’t help that artillery/bombs easily destroy them by accident, so a lot of the time you have to put them in a building, which isn’t an option on some obj points.
Playing in matches that have literally no spawn beacons is becoming almost as painful as bomber spam.
Oh God. My brother hates bombers so much, that they are actively making him want to quit the game. I know how that feels for sure. 
Yes, it’s easily the main balance problem in the game at the moment.
Loads of people have been suggesting some really good ways to make them more balanced, hopefully the devs are taking notes.
I think making them not attack the map itself but instead attacking things outside of the map would be great. Attack planes could blow up convoys, AA guns, rail lines, or trains all outside the map, all AI controlled. once they blow up a certain amount of these the enemy team would lose x amount of reinforcements
Not only spawn beacon, all of buildings.
To be fair, you only need to play as an engineer for like ~10-15 seconds to build a spawn beacon, then you can just switch back - plus it means that his next squad with classes he wants to play will get into the action faster so in reality he’s playing less of the classes he wants to play because he’s not playing an engineer. Lack of long term vision ;p.
As someone who’s used to building tunnels in Rising Storm 2 all the time, I would like this feature to get added as its annoying to build a spawn point when the stupid bots don’t take or provide cover costing me some assaulters which I would’ve switched once I’m done building one. That way, I can also provide better cover instead of relying on my engineer at times with his SVT.
