Quickdocking, boon or bane?

[Jack_Henderson]

I think many do not see the consequences: A drastic shift in balance away from the group that is already the group beaten up worst: Transports

Transports turn slowly.
Transports can be bumped out of the docking process.
Transports take forever to correct a docking approach.
Transports are already weak.

This adds another 30 seconds or with a few bumps a minute to the ordeal of trying to get away from an attacker.

So... devs say:

> Transports should not fight off enemies.
> Transports should not cruise away (no cms on most serious transports)

Now another strike:

> Transports should not be able to dock when they make it under fire to a base? For surviving 30 k, you need a CAU6-8 and a combat transport. And even then it can be a close run! Now add 30 seconds under fire and you will hardly ever make it.



Sorry, this is a very very bad idea. Why?

It hurts the "food basis" that all activity is linked to. Less trader, less pirates, less lawfuls, etc...

It puts the weakest group with the worst chances of making it (and the highest risk when not making it) yet at another disadvantage!

It will dramatically increase the QQ because traders will very often die very close to the docking port. That hurts especially. More QQ.
