Docking with larger ship - Option for larger ship docking beams to draw you in.

[Riftmaster]

A fairly common thing I find myself doing is creating a smaller scout or hacking ship that docks with my my primary exploration ship. This allows the hacking modules to be mounted in it, and not take up slots on my main ship which are only used occasionally.

While it is possible to dock with a larger ship while flying a smaller, the larger ship's docking beams will not draw the smaller one in, and you have to manually make hull to hull contact by carefully maneuvering the smaller ship.

You can, of course, switch to the larger and draw the small one in.

 

I am curious whether it would be possible to add a togglable option to allow the larger ship's more powerful beams to draw your small ship onto it, while still flying the smaller.

More thematic and all that.

Incidentally, this might allow creation of a mothership that has multiple smaller ship docking bays more feasible, since you could fly into the bay and dock instead of flying in and then switching to mothership to dock.

On this, I'd like to see docking bays align with their perpendicular axes. it's very unsatisfying to dock and have the two docking bay blocks off-centre, barely touching!
