Restrict battleships docking rights to shipyards

[Wraga]

When I saw this post, an idea came into my mind. Since this server based on roleplay, docking with battlehips on elsewhere except shipyards is a little bit weird.
I dont know it could be possible or not to code this change into the game, however I'm interested about others opinion.

Sure I know, there are multiple reasons to allow capships to dock on smaller bases (raids, etc.) but I think this modification could fit better to a roleplay server than the current situation.

Thank you

there are some places - especially omicrons - which are supposed to be traversed in at LEAST cruisers or battleships ... yet - they lack shipyards to tend to them.

remember - in lore - zoners supply their edgeworld stations in fearless cruisers and/or nephilim warships...

and while you may argue "well, let them get little transport helpers" - there is a practical issue with a ship that simply cannot dock anywhere on its route.


edit: the core would also be a bit screwed - and some other factions that kind of depend on intermediete stations.

and i am quite certain you have not thought of something to GIVE them for what they would give up.

I agree.

You can't dock transports/gunboats on cruiser bases, too.
And it really looks stupid to see something large going into something smaller. (Yes - context away.)
Not to mention barge dockings.

Interesting idea.
I had something similar in mind when I docked a BS at one of the smaller station which is much smaller than the ship.

While it can be realised via flhook I'm not sure of the gameplay consequences.
We should be careful about such a restriction.

@Jinx : Core(O56), Corsairs(Gamma/O91), Hessians(O54) and Zoners(O74) got their own shipyards.

Sure, as I said, I know there are some reasons to do not accept it, since everybody has his own right to enjoy the game, however this modification could give more than taken from.

In my opinion for sure.

Oh and Narcotic. I'm absolutely agree with you, There should be another changes about trader/gunboat docking rights.

Caps not docking to station like fighters do by entering into hangar bay. They establishing moorink link with station so all the ppl can move to station, that's my vision of 'how do they do it"

[Zen_Mechanics]

You can't do that, unless they add values such as "height, width" because otherwise the base won't be able to recognize the vessel type, another option would be to inlist the known cruisers into the known bases where it is unlikley to fit in and to deny entery.
But the Idea makes sense, but it will ruin a lot of factions, esp in the Edge Worlds/ Omicrons.

This.

Now, if there was a way to some how actually implement that into the game, I'd be all for it, but I guess we're stuck with having battleships three times the size of Riverside disappearing as they "dock" to it. And due to practical reasons, restricting the size of ships capable of docking to certain stations is unsound too (see Omicron example).
