They aren't that functional as far as docking goes, but something I recently tested. Newark station for instance. i had hit the dock button and it said I was good to moor. So I was thinking, "ALRIGHT!", this wasn't truly the case. It went into that cut scene mode and it stayed. I pretty much had to logout and back in to get out of it. So then I went to Trenton Outpost there and also tested this. Sure enough it say i am good to moor with them but nothing ever comes of it. Is this supposed to hap…

I remember using The Next Generation mod for Freelancer last year, it actually made docking real easy for docking with planets. Basically they removed the docking rings and all you did was click the planet and you could dock that way, thus removing the mooring fixture out of the equation. I can already tell myself this would never be in CF because...well things might be abused. As for using battleships, I think they can be a practical and vital piece of this mod. They are underused. Plus they a…

I don't necessarily want anything changed with battleships at all. The one I have seems like it might have some use for it in many different forms ranging from smuggling support to pirate taxing schemes. I would however like to see the capability to use the docking feature with stations fixed like it is with trains making it only possible to dock with mooring fixtures. Trains work, essentially, the way I think battleships should as far as docking goes.

So let me try to get this right. Battleships are intended to dock with everything then? If not then why will it not be fixed?

I don't think you people are understanding what I am typing. I would like battleships to work like trains do and ONLY have the capability to dock with mooring fixtures. Right now battleships are able to dock with any station like Trenton Outpost which inevitably ends up forcing you to logout of the game and then back in due to a glitch or improper coding of the docking procedure.

That works as intended. I had discovered this just out of shear boredom while waiting for someone in the New York system. The dispatcher, if you would like to give them that title, lets you know that you are clear to moor. So then it goes into the cut scene mode which was a surprise to me when it happened. The whole reason why I had made this thread was to inform you all because I knew this wasn't supposed to be possible, I mean sure it would be cool to be able to moor with space stations. It wo…

When you do, make sure you use a battleship. Trenton Outpost and the other one that looks like a half-pipe. Edit: Typo

I couldn't remember the name of it at the moment. I was working on a character sheet for some D&D.

Please don't get all defensive, I was simply asking a question.
