Transporter: Permissions

[GaeasSon]

I will first say that transporters rock beyond description. It makes my little Trekkie heart beat faster.

With the understanding that transporters are a work in progress... Finer access control might be useful.
At the moment, we can allow incoming by Faction, or Public access. I think it might be useful, particularly for Trade stations (NPC and User) to allow incoming by check boxes for:

• Faction
• Friendly faction
• Neutral
• Anyone

Maybe another check box that shuts off the transporter entirely when any red blip is on radar.

Maybe another control that overrides permissions to allow one incoming transport. Useful for allowing an ambassador aboard without allowing a boarding party. Useful for a boarding party to bring over reinforcements.

Transporters will likely work as activation based, That means the faction that is on the current ship applies to the transporter and you can use the permission module to allow anyone to use it.

I imagine the same will apply when going to a transporter.
