I have made a navigation buoy. The Idea was inspired by the buoys in oolite, the model is completely new.

I like this very much. Unfortunately right now we have no code that can make use of it, so I will hold this PR open until such time as we do.

Could we use this in front of station entrances, to help with aligning correctly?

That might be a good idea, or to identify queuing locations outside stations.

We'll have to make sure the position of the queue (or buoy) is outside of the current launch path. That is the biggest problem right now with increasing traffic - ships landing and starting are crashing into each other (as well as ships lining up to land crash into other ships waiting to land).

I think nozmajner also made a nice buoy model a few months back when I wanted to include in the SAR missions (got voted down though - with good reason).

Shouldn't these kind of designators be UI only? I mean it feels strange to put a bouy anywhere, could easily become a navigational hazard. Like if balloons would designate parts of an airport.

Don't know if this is needed right now. Will repoen, if/when so.
