you go to wherever to do whatever then when your in the middle of doing whatever you remember you didn't home so if you die your going to be sent back to the other side of the verse
so there should be the option to /home last
to set your home station to the last place that you docked
provided you are still alowed to dock there

I would be ok with this, provided there is some kind of fee for this service.

I feel like it's abuseable though. Doesn't this mean that people can hedge their risk as they travel by homing in one place, and if they run into trouble on the trip back they can choose quickly between two possible respawn points? Obviously they would have to visit the stations, but it gives this advantage on trips where you move between two stations.

You could mitigate this with a time limit but that might remove its usefulness. I'm all for trying it but I think it should have another discussion if it turns out there are some edge cases where it can be abused.

Maybe some kind of auto-home setting could help?

I like the idea of a auto-home option
/homeon /homeoff
with it on your home is set every time you dock

Isn't that a simple plugin though?

Would such a plugin be simple to make? Maybe you should just make it TRS. I really have no idea how hard it would be to make, and personally I'd likely not use it myself, though I can see how some other players would find it helpful.

+1 !!!

I have some great ideas about this if implemented!

Don't worry, inc. Just do it! Nothing will go wrong. Pinky swear.

So, just to be clear, we're now (mainly) talking about an auto-home feature, allowing people to automatically set home whenever they dock?

Yes but it would be cool if you could do it inflight aswell /Homelast

Yes but it would be cool if you could do it inflight aswell /Homelast

I think TRS raised how that could be abused. Auto-home seems reasonable though.

look... no hands wrote: Would such a plugin be simple to make? Maybe you should just make it TRS.

I hope that is you being a smarty pants LNH because thats the exact kind of smartypantsosity that would motivate me to write the plugin. Come on discord some time I'll tell you how I really feel about it. In the meantime:
