I don't think the docking modules are really popular except the situations when a fighter can just dock a carrier for quick repairs (if carrier not involved in a battle and just flying somewhere nearby to serve as repair point for smaller ships)

Looks to me like you want to have it all in one ship...
I am one of the people who try to understand the purpose of the docking module except 'ok, come in, we jump in 3... 2... 1... engage'. Perhaps you can answer this, what's the use of docking modules on liners, transports, cruisers? They all can't jump but have docking module slot(s).

at least having current fuel cheaper could be not bad too
It will allow small jump drive trading already.
In the current situation, jump trade is profitable only if you have more than 3 bustards one of those equipped with JD4. If you doing jump trade alone or in a couple it won't make a big profit but actually big losses of cash
