Ship-to-ship docking improvements


Athreon

Suggestion

I think it would be beneficial to make the ship-to-ship docking a bit more fixed. I believe it could be accomplished by introducing either a new type of docking block, or adjusting the old one. Some ideas for how it could work:

-There could be a "Giving" and "Receiving" version of the block, allowing for "Mothership" focused large ships.

-The "Receiving" block could need to be of a certain size/volume to "Receive" ships of a certain mass. This could keep small ships from becoming the carriers for larger ships, outside of specially designed "Tugboat" ships.

-The docking block could have a fixed direction when placed that needs to face the same direction as the ship it's docking with. This would interact with the next point.

-When docked, the two ships would join the same grid, matching up their positioning.

I believe these changes would make for a much more aesthetically pleasing and functional change to the docking system, allowing for some very interesting builds, especially for players playing cooperatively. These changes would assist in allowing for better tolerances between what can be docked to what, allowing for specially build "Mega Hangers" for larger ships, allowing one player to fly the mothership while another can detach and perform specialist operations.

Hope you enjoy my suggestion! Thanks for making such an amazing game!
