Well once we got past the "who do you think you are everyone does it this way" stage I really learned a lot. It's not the first time I've embarrassed myself on the Internet by being ignorant :D and it won't likely be the last, but education is worth a little embarrassment every now and then :D...

Yeah, I knew about them being non-tangible. It's a nice feature. :) What I didn't know was that the arrangement you and Olxinos show above is actually viable. Intuitively, I assumed that the rail would need to point into the next line. Knowing that this works basically invalidates my whole idea...

So the rails don't have to actually point into the next line? That's not what I expected, and isn't intuitive. That definitely is an improvement though.

In the wild, from Lenscap's recent stream: Skip to 59:10 to see the "negligible" problem. Then understand that it took probably 40 minutes for a talented builder to figure out how convoluted his rails needed to be to even work. There was a military coup in Turkey, did you hear? A fly in my...

Hey, thanks for posting this. :) The problem shows up best about halfway through your video. Do you get docked? Of course you do... But you're following this twisted multi-direction tangle of pickup real and an observer (or even first person flight mode) would see a really mechanical...

I'm sorry, Lukwan. I obviously misunderstood you when you said: Yes, it's actually not hard at all to use logic to optionally reconfigure existing designs as far as the visible, solid docking rails go. That's what I'm going to end up doing on the server I play on. The only issue is that...

I don't see how my solution complicates anything, except the obvious issue with dealing with legacy designs, but that's basic logic. Minor complication at worst. And why wouldn't we auto dock USDs? People do. Both these suggestions - to add a new rail docker - are actually more complicated...

Edit: never mind, thanks for clicking :) I learned something new about rail movement from Olxinos and Sven the Slayer, and my entire point below turns out to be invalid :D Original post: Having a standard Universal Serial Dock is wonderful for the community, but the existing design has been...
