Player Capital Ships with Docking?

[Tenacity]

It's been done with other mods, and since I've been working towards a carrier-class vessel myself I would love to have this option added. How cool would it be to sneak one carrier through the enemy's lines and have a half dozen fighters/bombers pop out to do the fighting =P

I dont see it happening in 4.85, due to modding issues, but it could happen further down the line.

Now, I think there are further limitations that would need to be placed for this, though. Some that come to mind:

-Battleship class vessels can only hold 2-3 fighters/bombers/freighters (no larger ships) within their hold at a time.
-Carrier class vessels can hold 5-10 of the above at a time.
-You should only be able to 'dock' with a player ship if you are friendly with their tag (like you can only dock with friendly or nuetral npc bases) to prevent enemies from docking with your ship to resupply against you =P

What would make this even more useful is if certain ships - carriers and the larger battleships for example - had jump drives, letting them jump across sirius to a specific system fairly quickly (more quickly than manually flying from system to system). That would let a carrier, for example, jump a strike force of fighters to the other side of sirius for a quick surprise attack.

It would also make for good defense/retreat strategies. If you're losing a fight, load the fighters up and jump home. If enemies are spotted in your faction's home system, you load up a few fighters/bombers and make a jump home to fight them with a quickly deployed defense.
