Currently the only place the trident can dock, repair, reload, re-configure, load/unload, or buy/sell, is at Latos M-7.

I suggest that there be some way to "wet-dock" to interface with any station, if only to buy/sell and load/unload, and take missions. Ideally you would see docking apparatus the cappie must manuever to, but you could simply add a "contact station quartermaster" dialog once within the stations's NFZ, and we can all imagine bots or cargo ferries doing their thing (until such a time as you add that content). The ship would be vulnerable to attack, but at least any such action would rouse the SF.

In the long run I suggest you make capitol stations able to house/repair/configure capships, or at least one station in each nation's capitol, so that Latos M7 is not the only place the pilot can disembark.

Indeed, Now that ORE has made one and other guilds are actively working towards them these issues should be addressed.

Exactly how it is implemented is dependant on deep VO things, but I agree that it needs to be looked at.

I have a list of questions, tweaks, and requests I will report on, one thread at a time, but this above any concern seemed top priority for quite a few gameplay/logistics reasons.

My opinion is that capships simply should not dock everywhere... like now.

If I remember Inc's plan, the capitals and the few major stations will receive a capship docking bay, while in all others the owner can park cappie ourside and use a "small ship"* to reach station, load/unload, etc.

Maybe what is required for Trident-M, in this case, are:
-Park here button
-Better Load/Unload To/From Trident/Docked ships interface, so owner can use any small ship to move cargo between station and cappie.

General dynamic, for a lonely capship owner, should be:
Park outside station, launch with his personal ship (as a XC) and dock to station to trade or take missions.

Only in those few stations with a capital dock the player could dock and use station interface as if he was on a small ship.

*Small ship here is any non-capital ship, up to Behemoth XC.

---------> OT: What happens if you dock a moth/Atlas with gunners to cappie? Did you try, CD?

Until capital ships are capable of reloading their own weapons, this is kind of a problem. NPCs never have this issue since their missile launchers dont run out of ammo.

If the cappie pilot could undock from the cappie leaving the cappie parked outside a station this would be a good solution. M7 would need a way to load/unload a ship to the cappie while docked
