So I was thinking about how to make a player ship able to dock in multiplayer. Afaik player-use-ai doesn't work in multiplayer, so using that to dock yourself with a ship doesn't work. Then I had an inspiration:
Can a specially designed support ship dock with the player, then be told to go dock using a second docking point to something else, like a station? Would that second docking process 'bring the player along'?
And if so, could the support ship be made invisible? ;7

That's probably all possible. Just be sure the invisible ship can win the tug of war against the player should the player decide to fly off somewhere.
That should be just a stop-gap really though since player-use-ai really should be fixed for multiplayer anyway.

Oh! I didn't know fixing player-use-ai for multiplayer was an option. Yeah that would be better.
But this could be pretty interesting in the meantime. Thanks for the input. Now all I have to do is learn more about making paths and whatever else is needed on such a model. ;)
