Station Docking/Power

Did you take a look into the priority list?

You can rearrange the power to the docks to be the lowest priority.
So docks will only receive the excess power the station does not need.
(Can also prioritize turrets and docks separately, so your docked turrets would get power first.)

I think it would be a good idea to make this the default priority configuration for stations since this problem/question pops up frequently.

To be honest a ship docked to a station should not disable its reactor, since docking to a station is not a close system coupling unlike using turrets.

That and fuel isnt a thing yet. Its not as if a station undergoes """Warp Stresses""" or anything and thus needs to shut down every reactor bar the main one...

The new power sharing and shield mechanics makes it unsafe to dock large ships anywhere other than large stations or home-bases. Say I want to dock my carrier to a small outpost, *poof* it now has no shields as the station is unable to protect it. I understand not wanting to have full chain sharing as it was heavily exploitable but I think ships docked to stations should be able to keep their shields up.

Yeah, I fail to see the logic of a ship reactor being disabled due to docking.
