Awesome missed feature with the Cerberus

Post by Cptkwirk »

So I have messed around a little in a cerberus and found myself rather than flying it directly I play as the single docked ship.

There are a few little issues with the automation and behaviours when operating like that though.

What would be great for the cerberus and like ships would be as you are docked you control the Cerberus even from the fighter cockpit as you can see fine and the moment you undock you the cerberus goes back into AI control and immediatly into defense of the player ship where it can act then as a missile boat with turret protection and defensive drones.

Then as soon as you dock you jump back in control of the cerberus. Or when you request to redock it q's you until drones have docked

Now all individually work to a certain degree but I think something automatic like this would be awesome

Nice idea, but what if you just want to ride along?

Tell the Cerberus where to go, Dock and go manage your stuff while it carrys you where you want to go.
An automatism like that would make that impossible.

I would prefer to be teleported right onto the pilot seat of an owned vessel instead.
Having to wait for your pilot to get up and move away so they don't get stuck and make footstep noises all flight long gets old pretty fast.

In this particular case, if you want to commandeer the Cerberus, switching seats would be a piece of cake.
