New scanners and docking during battle [summoning admin(s) to clear this up?]

[Lumik]

Why not just have the bases themselves hooked to deal with docking messages, if sombody docks at a base, then anyone <insert distance> from the base in question will get a notification regardless of how many cool scanners there are in the game. so a battleship with a 25k scanner range still wont get a message unless hes <insert distance> from the base.

We need a fixed point to base (sorry) this important measurement off, (sorry bad pun), now that Scanners are variable they can no longer be used to rely on such important data because it becomes your word against theres

This solves the situation only when that distance would be same as scanner range of the weakest scanner (8K at the moment I think). So docking player is able to see if there is or isn´t somebody who see him and then can decide if dock or not.
