Docking computer procedure...

Post by Zorath »

SOoo.. I was docking at this really popular planet and was 5 or 6th inline to doc... and was thinking of ways that maybe the whole computer docking thing could be made a little more 'exciting'

I was thinking maybe there could be an option of reciving Video from the station showing each ship as it docks but from a camera that is mounted just above the docking slit and aimed at the current ship in line to dock and then switch to the next one and so on.. (figured this gives good way to maybe see a whole bunch of ships from the front you don't normaly get to)

Hi

It might be a bit hard to dock from a 3rd person view! However, I understand that slightly different views are on the menu.
You came in that? You're braver than I thought!

i like the idea, you could set it up to happen if you hit 2 twice, and be able to moniter ships from the station while docked :!:
I don't get mad, I get Q-Mine!
