Docking Beam Inconsistency

[Grimson]

So I was playing with the docking beam to see if I could activate gravity on a ship because the beam does open plexdoors. An I found that if you hit a grav generator or a power generator the beam doesn't give the block not compatible error. So what is the beams behavior when contacting a block that you can normally activate with R. The ship core gives the correct error.

The docking beam is only meant to be used for docking. It allows you to open PlexDoors, because hangars are very often protected by them to stop strangers from entering your station / ship. I don't know why Schema decided to ouput an error when pointing the docking deam towards a ship core. You have to take into account aswell that the docking beam was in the game before logic blocks existed. That might explain the inconsistent behaviour.
