Default Re: New feature wanted - - - Space Docking

TUGS would be another great feature ... the ability to TOW another ship, or even starbase. Rate it for how many kT's it can move at without a loss of speed, AND give the part a once-per-ship NEGATIVE speed bonus (tugs are powerful, not fast). Every additional multiple of that rated tonnage, you lose 1 more from teh tug's speed; tugs in a fleet add their towage capacity together.

Then you can have a slew of Cruiser-sized tugs move that nice, shiny starbase -ever- so slowly into position at the WP chokepoint it was intended for ... after building it at one of your much-more-capable planetary yards.
This is a awesome idea. I would absoluly love to see this happen. Would bring into the game a whole other way of playing. Hopefully MM will add this to SEV. That'd be the bomb.
