Protect Ships Docked Inside of Others From Missiles

[Valiant70]

Every blasted time I go into battle my shuttle gets blown apart by a @#$%^& missile! I don't know if this is a glitch, but it should be considered one. My shields were up, so the mothership takes no damage. The shuttle is inside and SHOULD be protected by the blast doors covering it, but apparently missiles have never heard of line of sight. :P

If there is no line of sight to a ship, it should not be damaged by a missile.

It is considered a bug by many. I think the reason they can't just use the same line of sight thing they did for astronauts is because that would end up with it only checking for the core location of the docked ship, which may be very inaccurate.

Maybe when we get this, we will also get the system what would make it so missiles can target any block/section of a ship, not just the core, since I imagine they would work off the same principle.

Yes

Actually, EVEN just tracing the line between explosion and core, alot of improvement would be the result. Think of all the docked power generators that are technically sealed off - they would not be damaged until there is a hole in the main hull, at which point they are not really protected anymore one way or the other (and shouldn't be, either).
