A quick little docking suggestion that would help so much

[EMC007]

So, I play with collision physics on, because I love using drills as torpedoes, but it really makes docking a huge hassle, because every time I undock, the two docking blocks clip with eachother and they both end up getting destroyed. And then I have to do the reboot and wait for 30 secs to fix this tiny mistake, when I just wanted to see if my capital ship docking bay worked.

This is even more challenging now with magnetic docking, because even though I am moving slowly most of the time, it sometimes does damage, then I have to reboot, etc etc.

So, if you could please turn collision physics off for just rail dockers, rails, and other docking modules, it would save me and (possibly) a few others, tons of time and frustration

Thanks.

I've broken 3 rail dockers just today because of this.

Collision isn't really a working system right now, so I wouldn't expect a fix before they actually put some work into it. Still a good suggestion for when they get around to it though.

I would recommend not turning it off completely, but make it so that it doesn't register a collision at less than, say, half the server's maximum speed. That way, you won't inspire people covering their ships completely in rails to make their ships impervious to your torpedoes.

Or make rail-docker ramming-ship.
