Core logic output, Occupied or not.

Simple really.
have the core output an on signal if occupied, and an off signal when empty.
Possible benefits:
1) close / open airlock doors
2) turn on / off lights
3) turn on / off turrets

and if this is already possible, how do I do it?

Was just about to make a thread for this, and Suggestion saved the day by bringing this one to my attention.

Agreed, a logic signal coming from the core that can detect when it is occupied would be great. I love the idea of having my ship be in "sleep mode" while its docked, and then when I actually get in it all the lights come up, the rotating bits start spinning, etc.

Right now I fake it by having an extra layer of area detectors just outside the cockpit door so that when I walk through them it brings up the lights.

The core already binds to various computers so that they appear on the hotbar. Just use one of those internal controllers.
