The reapers are coming to wipe us out!

And they all fly with flight assist off, silent running ambushes are a common tactic.
all they have to do is fly fast enough, our scanners can't pick them up then.
A common enemy would be really cool, give all the commanders of every faction and occupation a reason to work together
Yes! This definitely sounds cool.
You've made the Docking computer crying, implying it isn't IntelligentThere is no AI in Elite Dangerous. Even auto-pilot was banned since the times of Frontier
docking computer is a remarkable bit of vacuum tube and analog clockwork, working with gyroscopes and directional radio beams. B-17's in world war 2 had a similar tech. but its not AI, nor even a computer as w would know it.
i love the anachronistic theme of elite; force fields and hyperdrive, yet 1980 computers and 1960 NASA radios.
nothing made our produced has enough processing power to ever be able to host the AI that is still loose... and viral.. out there. similarly, nothing can transmit with enough bandwidth to enable AI propagation. ON PURPOSE.
I would love to discover massive rogue drone constructs out in the void of space... but that just might infringe upon some OTHER space game. which is a shame.

Indeed, considering that the "docking computer" takes up a whole module slot from the ship, the same slot that could alternately hold many TONS of cargo, it must be some steampunk device. Really ridiculous, since even with our present-day tech such a docking automation would only be a small part of software in the normal ship computer.
Easier to learn to dock and not waste the slot in the first place.
Don't Fear The Reapers - Buck Dharma said that, so it must be true.
You missed the point completely, but yes, manual docking is no problem in this game (well, haven't tried with the Type 9 or other biggest ships...)
Rise of the Docking Computers. In this paid major expansion for Elite: Dangerous, docking computer AI assault the three major factions in an effort to dominate the galaxy by installing themselves onto ships and crashing them into starports.
As big as the docking computers are, there would be room for a large supercomputer's worth of AI, and so it would be capable of plotting far more dastardly plans than that
Thargoids.
