Boarding ladder for docked ships.
...sure would be nice to be able to dock a fighter or two with the mp ships, especially the yacht.
I realise this raises "invulnerability" issues.
However, you could simply limit docking in a manner that you cannot dock if you are engaged by any hostiles.
The system allready knows this as it triggers the combat music.
As for missions, make any missions in progress automatically fail when you dock with a Surosuub.
Don't want to code all the ship models to be "attached"? Just put em back in data pad as if the player had landed.
Click the ladder select ship and launch to leave, no ship managing allowed of course.

Drop a krayt pearl in it to make it look like a urinal mint.

I thought it was the head?
Toilet, for those who don't speak nautical.

The thing that confound me is that the hole goes up too. Maybe we could get some kind of EVA in the game.

This may be a port for a turret that isn't there. Actually I think there is a cannon on the bottom of the ship but it's just for show.

The hole is where the gun turret ladder was supposed to be before the Developers decided to make the ship invulnerable. The "cannons" under the ship is actually sensor and communication arrays.
I usually put a crafting station in front of that gun ladder hole so that nobody can see it, that way I dont have to worry about it. However, I like the docking idea, itwould be nice for people to be able to go to and join up with a party out in space.
