If you are a ship which was carried, there are three bits of information serialized to a file.
1) The Client ID
2) The Character Name for the vessel you are docked with
3) The last known real base you were docked at. (Real, meaning not the proxy base)
Provided that you logged back in as someone docked on a carrier, that's the information it has available.
If you try to undock, and it finds that there is no parent ship with the saved carrier name, it instead sends you to the last known place you were docked at.
Ie: You launch from Planet Pittsburgh and dock on a carrier. You log off for some reason. The carrier logs off. You log back in. When you undock, you'll find yourself back on Pittsburgh.
Quote:While the carrier stays logged on, is it possible to dock, switch to another ship docked on the carrier, launch, and do the whole thing again?
I don't see why not. The carrier saves a list of everyone docked. (The list you see when you use the `/listdocked` command)
Even if you log off, you don't disappear off of the carriers list. You're still registered as being there. Swapping ships shouldn't be an issue.
