Fleet Carriers Parking

You know what would be a very cool feature to fleet carriers... letting us park our FCs right next to each other! Why can't we do that?! When we're doing PvP stuff, and want to change ships we have to either fly back to our carrier or transfer ships... just let us park directly next to each other's carriers to make swapping ships much easier and faster! I know a few mega meters ain't that big of a deal to fly but sometimes you have this gravity well to deal with, and just being side by side would be a nice feature. IMO

Just typing out loud here but seems doable. There could be restrictions, like a selection to NOT let others park next to you or only friends, squad members, etc., I guess.

If you've ever instanced with a carrier that was too close to a station you'd see the issue here. Relative speeds play havoc with trying to get to places.

What would likely happen is one carrier is stationary (relative to your zero speed) whilst the other would shoot off at 500m/s - until you got close enough to the second one and your speed would become relative to that carrier and the first carrier would have the appearance of flying off in the opposite direction.
 
Yeah the primary issue here is that you can only have 1 Fleet Carrier per instance, I don't think that is ever going to change, so each Fleet Carrier having to be in its own instance would make having them close enough together to basically fly from one to the other impossible.
