Make a gravity block similiar to the docking blocks. Have the "docking area" be the area of influence. Use gravity block enhancers to enhance the influence area of the gravity.
The current gravity blocks are liked because you can make grav lifts with them. So, as to not remove this functionality, have special gravlift blocks that overides the gravity blocks along a corridor shaped area when you press them.
So basically these would work similar to ordinary gravity blocks, except that their influence are limited to a corridor of maybe 3*3 blocks, it shouldn't need enhancers, and the corridor would have unlimited length and function either until you fall out of the ship (just as it works now), press another grav lift block aimed another way or step out of the corridor of influence.
Thoughts?
