New feature wanted - - - Space Docking

[Nebraskan]

Baron, My thinking was this: say you had 6 Escorts or Frigates in a Fleet and it is being opposed by a Cruiser. If they try to go one on one they will get creamed against the Cruiser. However if they can join together by docking they would stand an excellent chance of defeating the Cruiser. Yes my primary reason was to boost the shipbuilding capacity of spaceyard ships. I think if you look at the concept longer you may find other strategies that could be adopted. How about docking a Starbase with a Carrier and a Transport. Such a unit could have many fighters to use protecting anything. I realize this unit is limited by being stationary but the potential for adjusting it size and therfore it power is enormous.

What do you think?
