What a god send the Docking Computer (DC) is, it does have some issues though. On the Sidewinder it seemed to work ok, a bit jitterish, the hauler it started out OK, but now it slams into the port and causes hull damage.
Idea / Suggestions
Refine the DC so that it works on all ship sizes, and slows down etc, make ports bigger so that it works with the hauler on those big rotating station with a small opening.
Can you have an option to skip the docking part (flying upto the port and going through the motion to dock) and just show us as landed in the port?
Example: fly to the required distance, ask to dock, lower speed for auto docking, then it skips to show the ship landed on the pad.
Autopilot:
Would it be possible to have an autopilot to fly to inner systems?
Example: lock a planet/station, set autopilot, it then gets to the right traveling distance and initiates the jump engines and autopilots to the destination, after exiting, you follow the example above to dock.
If you get interdicted / attacked, it simply disengages autopilot, you will have to re-enable it with a key binding etc
