    So I love to play with gravity turned on on my stations.

    From time to time though I dock a ship that is facting into another direction than the gravity. When I now approach the two overlapping influence fields in astronaut mode, I get reorientated and suddenly fly horizontally to my stations surface down or up. After a few meter I leave the influence field of the docked entity again and I fly into the other direction again. This gravity fall loop is totally annoying.

    I would like to suggest a third gravity chamber:
    Personal Gravity, overriding the gravity field of docked entities.

    Players could then choose if they like to have the option of different gravity directions on their stations, or if there is only one gravity direction allowed on all docked entities and with all gravity modules that get placed, even if they face into another direction.

    My other suggestion to fix it without a new chamber:
    Only apply a different gravity direction to docked entities, if they have a gravity chamber themself.
