Topic: Bold request: remove station interface alltogether.
put small shield-bubble under each outpost with syndicate protection (with a 60 second buff cycle) and high interference, and then remove all means of "docking" to a station.
since the implementation of field-terminal mechanics, its an unnecessary feature. the only remaining reason to have your robot removed from terrain, would be changing into another one... and that would only require a short loading screen, like docking, and undocking.
why?
- make all those "hidden" agents visible in the gameworld somewhere.
- reduce your interface code to a single enviroment by removing redundant in-station interface (less bugs, less work)
- less advantage for those with countless alts leftover in stations that they are not allowed to re-enter (locked outposts)
- obviously, next to zero loading time between leaving and entering station, but due to protection beeing a buff with a cycle, no advantage for better internet connection/faster computer/etc...
and other stuff.
