Recognized Shared Power Setting

[kookster]

I would like a setting to allow/deny specific docked entities the ability to use the main ship/station's power source. Reasons being: It would prevent people who want to be malicious/trolls to public stations, creating ships that will drain the stations power. It would allow for some possible interesting docked entity designs IE: having perhaps a docked buffer for power per turret so if you have more turrets then you have the ability to generate it wont drain you to a sitting paper weight. I am sure there are a few more good possible uses, but these are the ones that came to my mind. Cheers.

How this will be implemented I will leave to discussion.

How about this?

I feel that idea is a good idea, but a bit too complicated. Some ships have 100's of turrets, such a design would not be good for them. I was think more along the lines of like a bobby ai, you can enter its settings and manually set stuff on the block.
