Is there a way we can fast track having entities remember their status of being docked to a HB on loading into a sector, if their last status was docked to a HB before they unloaded?
I like C32, and the new upgrade has improved load speed - it's an awesome improvement - but... sometimes stubborn chunks still refuse to load for 3-5 minutes, and entities docked to those chunks are basically derelict cannon fodder during that looooooooong window. This situation IS being exploited in MP, and it's very discouraging. HB docking is now only properly safe as long as you are at your station keeping things loaded in. Otherwise there's a fair chance with even a modest sized HB (under 100K mass) that when someone cruises through with their warship looking for trouble one or more of your docked ships will be vulnerable to attack.
Not sure if loading in entities with a memory of last being invulnerable before loadout opens even further exploits, but at this moment it seems an expedient way of remedying the situation. I'm keen to see C32 progress, but in the meantime, this window needs to be closed or MP is just wrecked.
