Recently I experience often convoys of ships entering/leaving stations. Imperial Clipper, Anaconda and Type 9 were very rare so I was always able to slip trough with my Asp while AI was flying trough the middle of the station entrance. I can slip trough even by Orca.
So I was thinking - maybe all corvette and frigate ships can pass by each other except mentioned 3 biggest ships. If we could get just a bit improved AI to use green side and seeing such convoy of ships going in and out would be amazing experience! I know that entering is the bigger problem but they might not need to align perfectly until they reach entrance wireframe. Maybe slightly faster flying would also do the trick.
When bigger ships come then dock/launch permission would shine. Noone gets it till those big ships pass.
Resulting effect would be similar to this:

EDIT: Also, when player request docking permission, it might be a good idea that in-ship HUD has change similar as we have when we perform cargo scoop yet this time indicating to the pilot to stick to the green side when entering and audio signal when aligned with correct green side.
