connecting logics to docking

[wanzer]

hi

as it is right now you can link storage to docking units and can pull from the docked object
and visa versa

how about adding the option to dock up to 8 or 16 logics to a single docking unit

so you can for example:
.dock ships and the station will start some processes based upon the commands given from the docked ship
.dock external logic devices
.let every automated process surrounding docking be custom to the docked unit

why not use remote logics?

cause then you need to have a logic connection to every ship that might dock
no you can just install a logic operating circuit to any ship

wanzer.

You can, but you need a punchcard reader and doors for this, or 2 opposing punchcard readers

But I would prefer a more stable solution too – adding 4 punchers to each dock for just that is annoying.

A chest pair on the docked and station will allow you to send signals to the station. That or use wireless remotes which will only work if close enough to the station

indeed
another problem with these punch card readers is that they are a rather big

yes but don't these pull systems have a delay of 5 seconds?
im looking more for something that does a cycle in 1 second
and wont that set of chests that interact not disturb or at the very least make the normal pull of materials allot more complicated?
and a bit dirty.

and wireless
yes that be awesome
do you have a tutorial on how to make everyone that comes within range link automatic
I only know how to make one pair connect but not like a broadcasting radio to multiple listeners
and that connection I can only get when I link them manually
