Oolite Bulletins

Getting back on topic, today I started a new Jameson save. Arrived at Zaonce on my first run, and asked permission to dock with shift-L keys.

Got a mesage saying i was 5th in the queue. Watched a few ships dock but forgot to count them. I wanted to know where I was in the queue. So I pressed shift-L again. Got told that my permission was cancelled. Did it again, and now was told that I was 7th in the queue!! Grrrr!

What I think should happen, is that when other ships have docked you should get a new message from traffic control updating your queue status so that you know whether its worth waiting or to go somewhere else!

Any chance?

There could even by a little jingle playing, and a repeated voice saying

"Thank you for waiting. Your docking is important to us. You are currently number

four

in the queue."

I don't think we should go that far! LOL

Please avoid cross posting the same things on different topics, it can be confusing and makes following discussions difficult. I split the related posts from the Docking System topic to their own thread.

I thinks yes, as it already works that way in trunk.
