Add permission settings to capitol ship keys
Currently a key only allows people to dock, reload, repair, and man turrets.
If permission settings were added, similar to the conquerable stations then a capitol ship pilot can restrict or grant access to several things.
Docking
Repair
Reload
Turret usage
IFF protection
Ships Stores
Ships Armory
Helm control
The first four are self-explanatory
The last four would be new.
IFF protection would keep activated turrets from firing on the designated pilot. This could be usefull to help avoid accidentally firing on non-combatants.
Ships stores would be any non-addon cargo item.
Ships Armory would allow pilots to buy weapons from the capitol ship's inventory. I don't know if it's worth having the ship owner set prices, or if everything should just be set at a price of 0. Being able to sell stuff to the ship might be a useful idea too, but that should then be a separate permission, useful for getting others to deliver supplies.
Helm control would allow the pilot to fly the capitol ship. I could even see at some future time a capitol ship owner paying someone to captain their ship for them. This may sound far fetched, but it already happens with merchant ships today. I could also see capitol ship owners renting out use of some future heavy hauler. There have even been a few times where I've had to run off for a moment and would have appreciated having someone else take the helm for me for a little bit (usually while traveling).

About helm control, i assume the owner needs to be online for this?
The others would be great additions to game. Being able to sell weapons out of the back of our vans would be an interesting addition.
Currently, in the game, under notifications, we can add lua style commands.
If we had a similar dialog under ship inventory, where we could use lua style command to set prices and markups, that would be kind of cool.

Currently, it's not even possible for the owner to unload cargo into capships, or to equip addons on ships inside the capship. This would require all these facilities, first to the owner, and then to someone with keys.
And what do you mean my allowing other players to fly your Capship? Do they have access to your ships stored inside the Capship? Access to your inventory? Can they overstuff your Capship with their ships? This would require a lot of work.

I would add two more permissios:
-for using capship commands
-for changing ships inside capship dock

I agree, and would like to see those abilities added as well.
"And what do you mean my allowing other players to fly your Capship? Do they have access to your ships stored inside the Capship? Access to your inventory? Can they overstuff your Capship with their ships? This would require a lot of work."
I only meant flying the capship around, in the same way we do now. Not full access to the ships contained within.
"I would add two more permissios:

I agree with the first one, I hadn't thought of that.
The second I agree with in principle, however current capitol ship holds are I think too small to make that really useful.
