[p][/p]Drone Bays and Docking Port unloading
[p]Docking ports and Drone Bays frequently block up, with the crew unable to unload them fast enough, and drones waiting endlessly outside to drop off their loot.[/p][p]This has been fixed with some new rules:[/p]- [p]If a Docking Port delivery zone becomes blocked up with cargo, the crew will now shuffle the blocking items into ANY nearby empty squares, to make space for more delivery items.[/p][/*]
- [p]This also means new players don't actually need to create cargo storage areas for a while - the crew will just keep moving things further from the blocked docking port.[/p][/*]
- [p]Drone Bays now have internal storage for up to 9 incoming items, meaning Drones don't have to wait before dropping off their items.[/p][/*]
- [p]If a Drone Bay is still blocked due to slow unloading, the crew will quickly unload the internal items into ANY nearby empty squares first.[/p][/*]
- [p]These changes make docking ports and drone bays much faster to operate, and prevents them blocking up so easily.[/p][p][/p][/*]
New Docking Assistant
[p]Docking has been made much easier, with a new docking assistant that automatically takes care of the final manoeuvres when close enough.[/p][p]You can override the docking assistant at any time by using your thrusters or engines manually.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42450473/04a99795ae6fd1adf3c9d3c49096d500aa473f27.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]Small Changes
