Open your planetinfo.plist, find the lines that readharry747 wrote:would it be possible to add some kind of traffic control system where you have to request clearances to launch, for the hyperspace jump and for the approach? of course there should be penalties for ignoring procedures, depending on the severity of the consequences. no consequences, minimum penalty; some ship crashes, maximum penalty.
agree? disagree? discuss!
Code: Select all
// Default docking clearance requirement for main stations.
stations_require_docking_clearance = no;AFAIK the minimum distance is 10 km, which makes it well within detection (and communication) distance.Kaks wrote:And for hyperspace jump, OoPhysics (tm pending) make it impossible to generate a wormhole near a station
pointless? not if another ship is approaching and trying to dock. more than once i was trying to dock when another ship launched and i had to wait.another_commander wrote:Asking permission to launch is a totally pointless thing, in my opinion.
Not quite so. Oolite always clears the docking corridor when you launch.harry747 wrote:pointless? not if another ship is approaching and trying to dock. more than once i was trying to dock when another ship launched and i had to wait.another_commander wrote:Asking permission to launch is a totally pointless thing, in my opinion.
Well, you can always create an oxp that looks for a station nearby when your jump is masslocked, and as well as the usual on screen message, the nearest station can broadcast an appropriate message...harry747 wrote:AFAIK the minimum distance is 10 km, which makes it well within detection (and communication) distance.
How about adding a small amount of time to clock after hitting F1 (say 5min +/- 5min?) - simulating launching exactly when requested or having to wait for something slow and ponderous that's already on final approach.another_commander wrote:Not quite so.

10 minutes are added to the clock on launch from stations.DaddyHoggy wrote:How about adding a small amount of time to clock after hitting F1 (say 5min +/- 5min?) - simulating launching exactly when requested or having to wait for something slow and ponderous that's already on final approach.

- what I was suggesting is that this could be the maximum time with perhaps a chance that your launch is instant (ok not instant but say 6min +/- 4min)I would disagree with that. 10 minutes game time can make the difference between missing or achieving a contract deadline. The time passing is not meant to be felt by the player as a punishment or anything, it is just meant to simulate time required for the launch sequence to complete.Yrol_Denjeah wrote:About adding time...
If that has not a Real Time equivalent, its pretty meaningless i
would say.
of course it was. it's ALWAYS my fault, especially when it isn't.Yrol_Denjeah wrote:So it was harrys fault that i couldnt dock at Xeesle last week!
