Docking Modules

Statistical
Vessels equipped with a Docking Module can allow 1 fighter or 1 bomber to dock to their ship per Docking Module equipped. No other class of ship can currently dock to vessels equipped with a Docking Module.

Here is some information on Docking Modules:

Carrier Bays
The Carrier Bay can be found on Transports, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Carriers, and Battleships. Not all ships have them in these classes. For example, most Destroyers and smaller Transports have not been given Carrier Bays.

To find out if your ship can use the Docking Module, and how many, go to your Inventory (F7) and click on the External Equipment icon (it looks like a gear or a sprocket). Carrier Bays are usually listed at the top of your External Equipment.

Usage
Here is a brief intro into using this item, for a more detailed explanation please use Charos' Docking Module Tutorial.


 * To dock to a vessel with a Docking Module equipped you first must be within docking range (200-300m); when in range merely press dock. This will send a request to the vessel with the Docking Module notifying him/her that you wish to dock. They must target you and type /allowdock.
 * You cannot sell anything to the equipment or commodity vendors on the vessel you dock to.
 * When you undock you will appear near the vessel you are docked with, even if it has moved between systems. If vessel you are docked with docks to a player base or NPC base and you undock, you will appear outside whatever base the vessel docked to.
 * If the vessel with the docking module is killed, you will spawn 100k below the center of the map.
 * To remove docked ships from your bays, type /jettisonship . Shipname IS case sensitive.
