About Docking Huge Ships

[Gamel]

I believe a lot of people have Troube on finding their ships after logout login
There are so many reasons for the missing ship problem, some are bug
Some just because there are assholes bumping around randomly......

For this, starmade have a system of docking,
allow us to dock the ship to custom stations and set spawn point
But fo ships longer than 100m or even 7/80m
It cannot be dock to the station, just keep saying not enough space to dock...

So, I figure out a solution:

I normally don\'t click youtube links on the forums, since I\'ve found they\'re mostly people trying to get views for their gaming channels. I\'m glad I clicked this one.

This really is a pretty nice idea dude maybe you could make the arm that extends from the ship out of doors as well to have a sort of, retractable docking bar or something? im going to have to try this.

The only problem with this is it leaves your ship vulnerable to attack, while docking to a faction home will make it invuln while you are away

the bridge is spazzing a little bit though, hope that won\'t cause heavy load to the server if more ships are linked together. great job
