Cross-Dock Keyword Activated Logic

[LessThanLethal]

Two new logic blocks:

• Keyword Sender Block

You name this block like an Inner Ship Remote, then you link it to either a Rail or Rail Docker. When activated, it sends the keyword (name) to whatever is docked or you docked to.

• Keyword Receiver Block

You name this the same way. You link it to a Rail or Rail Docker as well. If a linked rail gets sent the matching keyword by another ship, the Keyword Receiver Block activates a logic signal.


As long as people agree on common keywords this allows for any two ships, built by people who never met, to react intelligently to each other with logic. It lets a docked ship to activate any number of things on the other, at any place on the other ship. So you aren't tied to a physical area around the docker, allowing for more creativity and reducing ugliness a universal system might have.
