Dock a ship with an on/off (via an element?)
This one will transfer all its weight as well as a deactivation of its core like a tokenise (to avoid some PvP abuses, or simply arming).
There can be several variants to balance depending on the ability to manage core dynamics.
Do you have other ideas to improve this system, without this concern of the Role play dimension but so that the game is a better handling of the docking?
