Adjustable Space-Core Gravity

To keep it short, moving about space-stations was a bit of a nuisance in beta, as gravity could kick on or off seemingly at random while you were near the station, and most v-boosters would throw a ship clear of a station's gravity nearly instantly and well before the ship could properly line up to land on a landing-pad.

 

As such, I'd like to propose that station-cores have their gravity-fields height (and possibly strength) made in to a stat that the station's builder can adjust at the core. This would allow players to make landing-pads suitable for larger ships that ensure their pilots don't need to hop out and catch them with the maneuver-tool to keep them from floating away, keep players walking around a station from spontaneously having gravity kick on and off during a jump or while jetpacking around, and prevent a lot of really annoying collisions with the ceiling of any enclosed station-garages when the v-boosters on a ship fire the moment the pilot takes a seat.

 

Control doesn't exactly need to be extremely fine here, 4 or 8 meter increments for height and quarters or thirds for gravity-pull would be perfectly adequate. 

 

Any considerations or thoughts?
