Seems fun to be able to cooperate and interact in space this way, I like the whole thing, 5 stars dudes!

Well not smuggler only. Smuggler are contraband traders that's a fact. But trade doesn't mean contraband. Even if i don't have any precise idea for smuggler i'm sure there are a lot of possibilities for them in space.

How do you limit it, though? One docking slot per ship? Two for multis? How could an X-Wing physically dock with another ship, without the pilot havie going EV to get out? TIEs, OK...there's the hatch on the top. But you'd have to either make your pilot get out of his fighter and into your ship, or
Its a nice idea, and it'd be cool, but it might not work...at the moment, at least. However, "Drones" might be cool - little modified seeker doohickies, that can transport items across. They come as a virtually massless item, and they can help you trade, repair, and all sorts. It'd be good for players perhaps wanting to reload their fellow players, and things like that.

To be honest i was suprised this feature wasn't it..
when you target any player ship and hit Dock..
you get the message..
"The ship has denied your request.."
yet it doesn't even ask the player if it is ok or not..

Docking would be very cool indead. I got really excited when I saw what looked like a couple of round docking hatches on the Sorosuub, but I guess they're just for looks. I think it would be fun to be a rebel smuggler and be approuched by a VT-49 patrol and ordered to shut down my engines and prepare to be boarded and inspeted. At this point we can have a few choices. We can comply, and let them board and do thiersearch in the hope they don't find anything, or we can refuse and fight it out. If the VT-49 succeeds in disabling your ship and they force board your vessel, we'll get to see stormtroopers cut through the docking hatch just like the begining of ANH and have a real kick but firefight on your vessel.

Perhaps they have the same problem they had with multipessenger speeders ?!? I think these ideas will make their way too the devs if we cheer enough for them 
The rest is up to them.

sounds like an awsome idea to me...i've wanted it all along...and if you look at the multiperson ships somewhere on it there is a hatch or a door that looks like an air lock....at least on teh Nova there is....
