I disagree that this is a cheat. It's a useful feature that also has drawbacks if you choose to do it.
chill brah!

How is this a cheat? 4 XC's only give you 800cu cargo space. Even if they could fit 6 XC's it's only 1200cu, but there's much mucking around by having to swap each one, and this takes up a lot of time.
What are they doing, using the "captain can always dock" thing to squeeze ships in while the hold is full?
Ought to be fixed, sure, but nothing to throw a fit over.

Yea you can do it, but nobody else can dock and shuttling all the ships around to make it work is a huge pain in the ass.
If the cargo hold is full, noone can dock iirc. If the cpt. had a 300 cu ship on board, then the max load is 500 cu. plus one person in an XC and the cpt in the max 300 cu ship (but theoretically any kind of ship, so let it be an XC too) This makes up to total 900 cu. not more, not less. Not possible for ferry 1200 cu with 1 dent. It's simple math.
Wrong.
What you do is visit the capship station to load the Trident with 50 cu of items and 6 EC-89s (50 + 6*125 = 800) to completely fill its hold. Take it into space and fly to wherever you're picking up the rest of the cargo.
Next, undock with one of the EC-89s and go grab an XC loaded with 200 cu of payload and cram that into the trident. Then grab another of the EC-89s and repeat the process until you've loaded that poor ship with 6 XCs.
Total payload? 50 + 6*200 = 1250cu of actual items, ignoring the volume used by the XC hulls themselves.
You can actually fit a little more if you have a friend or alt handy. Once you undock the first EC, but before loading in the first XC (meaning the trident has 125cu free), have them dock with their own loaded EC-104. That boosts the total payload up to 1276cu once you get all your XCs loaded.

Yes, well. This is why I opposed the increase in the trident cargo in the first place. But whatever.
The owner of the ship can dock to the ship, ignoring storage limits at this time. It will be fixed when we add the ability for the capship owner to manage their capship from remote, like being able to kick out passengers or jettison cargo to make room for themselves.
