Mockup of extendable docking arm and wireless/auto extend/retract control setup.
The logic is not compacted, left open so all connections could be seen. Display modules tell where to connect wireless. This has a door, docking arm, and small ship docked. When arm is fully extended, pickup rail activates. When ship is undocked, arm retracts and closes door. When arm is anywhere but fully extended, pickup rail is deactivated. Wireless from ship will extend the arm and activate pickup. There is a button on mothership to undock anything on the arm, which causes arm to retract and door to close.
One simple change would be to remove wireless from ship to main activation control. A button could then be placed on the hull of mothership and a ships activator beam(ship core on hotbar) could activate the docking arm. Any ship could then use this system without having to be connected through wireless.
