Quickdocking, boon or bane?

[Tibbles]

Pros and cons:
+: Discerning between fighter/freighter, transport/gunboat and capital moorings.
+: Allows for a more diverse economy when select bases can't receive transports.
+: Allows for fewer caps at undesirable locations (such as junker bases) by simply not giving those a heavy moor. Additionally, jumpholes could be denied caps or even medium sized ships to create raider/freighter-only routes.
+/-: No more quickdocking. This will usually favor the side that is winning - pressing the combat into a base zone to score the kill becomes an option. Traders also won't be able to flee into a base as easily. However, the base defenses could be beefed a bit to offset that advantage and discourage lengthy fights inside a base perimiter.
-: Docking won't be as quick as it is now.
-: Convoys might end up queueing before a base that has few moorings available. A large fighter wing might need to wait in front of a base with few fighter docks (bases such as Newark won't be a problem, they have 14 medium moors, but bases like Trenton only have 3. Reverse is true for fighters).
-: Some bases will need minor tweaks if they have been built in such a way that it prevents access to the mooring "lanes".

Except the last point (wich is a dev issue if i have understood well) I consider all the points pros, no one cons...
So i have voted yes
