Okay. Here's a bit of a weird one. I'm trying to make a ship that can dock with frieghters as well as capships. I've given it a cargo dock and a standard dock but try as I might I can't get the damn thing to dock with the frieghters. It docks with caps fine (and fighters for that matter).

Does anyone know what setting I need for this? I've looked at a couple of cargo containers and it looks like I'm doing everything right.

what is it doing ?

I'm trying this in FRED. Basically the option to dock the ship to the cargo dock of any frieghter I try it with (The ma'at and the satis are the ones I've tried) failed. The option to dock with those ships completely failed to come up.

didn't the SCP eliminate the ship-type specific docking limitations so that anything could dock with anything?

[karajorma]

I thought so and yet if I change the cargo dock into an ordinary dock it still won't let me dock with the frieghters.

Not eliminate... there's a function in there that specifies which ship types can dock with which.  Cruisers can't dock with destroyers, for instance.

I've been wondering for a while if I should just bypass the whole sub and return true for every possible dock combination.
