Suggestion: Include commands to move ships to dock storage and back

Post by AdmiralTigerclaw » Tue, 11. Dec 18, 10:20

I'm seeing this on the steam forum and I agree.

We need menu/order commands for the player to send and retrieve ships from station and carrier storage. The current automated method of doing so causes frustration in certain cases such as the Argon frigate. Where docking a fighter places it right in front of your cockpit and requires you to do a convoluted docking dance with an additional small ship to duck things down.

I also had a case where my Corvette docked at my station as ordered, and I was about to manually board it when it got sucked into storage due to a landing trader. I couldn't pull it back to the surface.

Wish we had this from the beginning. The animation is so cool what I would stay for hours hiding/unhiding docked ships. Also that will help a lot with fights on ships with landing pads but also would be cool to have that on player owned stations and may be even on NPC stations with player ships

Totally agree with auther. It's very useful function especially at Cerberus frigate, where docked S ship take nearly half of the screen. Also there is a problem to lift your ship up frome storage - you need to have crew there and give your ship an order to fly away and land just to get to the ship.
