Quickdocking, boon or bane?

[Mímir]

It is an excellent idea if it is balanced with the trading system so that freighters will have a purpose (besides from faster cruise speed). It's nice with a bit more variety in trading, seeing that a 5K transport can do the same stuff as all other ships used for trading (really the one/no guns isn't that much of a weakness in reality) while making you significantly richer at the same time. There is no real incentive to not use a 5K transport, save for RP and ID's, and it would be cool if the economy combined with a new docking system could be an incentive for traders with nothing but dollar signs in their minds to mix it up a little.

Also it would eliminate the silent trader/quick docking power-combo that is utilized quite frequently. Or the random Ranseurs docking at Rochester Base.

If the devs are willing to spend the time on stations/ships that needs fixing following this, I'd say go for it!
