Docking 2 ships to improve jumprange and fuel consumption

[wolfia]

Hello everyone,

Will it be possible to dock a ship on other similar ships for multi crew? As example 2 Anacondas. And how it would be to allow these docked ships to jump like one ship. This could improve the jumprange and the fuel consumtion of both ships.

Could this be a point in a future update or is this a bad idea and/or is this not possible for the game mechanics/program code?
I assume this would be a nice feature.

Thank you you for this impressive game!
All the best!

Sounds like there would be some abominations produced after 9 months!
Imagine what would come out after an ASP "docked" with a Corvette - bbbllllleeeeeuuuggghhh!

Who would be mummy?

I'm not sure about docked jumps; those would be scientifically difficult, unless a smaller ship is contained within a bigger one like the case with fighter bays.

However, I did post a suggestion elsewhere that a refueling line for our utility slots would be a good alternative to limpets when attempting to refuel someone.
