Boron Super Shipyard even cooler than I'd thought

[clevider]

I've been playing TC since it came out and I just realized that big ships docking at the Boron super shipyard actually enter the bubble-thingy. How cool is that? How do they get into the station proper? I don't see an umbilicus. Is it water? Are they able to open the door and swim out?

I'm not sure why I'm so pleased with it, but I'm absolutely tickled. I wish there was differentiation between the regular stations, of course, but this makes we appreciate what there is even more.

I never knew that. It's awesome though!!

im pretty sure that "bubble" distorts reality or something, as every capital ship duo(you can only dock 2 there, which shouldnt be possible in the first place)ends up having cap ship 2 being stuck in cap ships 1 engine section.

also, have you seen the Teladi Super Shipyard(if you can call it that ) over in CEO's sprite?

The two ships in my pic are both fully docked capital ships and they aren't commingling. Granted, however, the one on the right is a rather small big ship. A thresher (m6)? Maybe it's big big ships that don't fit? I'll keep an eye out. I certainly don't have any ships of my own to test with -- I've never owned anything larger than an m6 except one captured TL (once, a long time ago).

All my first game starts were in the western half of the universe so I know I've been in CEO's Sprite and seen their super shipyard. I really don't recall what it looks like anymore, though, since I've lately been playing the eastern half to give myself some variety.

It looks purty, but don't try to dock a Hyperion there... you wont get it out of there again unless you're OS. Not sure what other ships it affects with docking.

the docking oddity with the boron SY has been fixed.

gonna post a pic of the Teladi super shipyard in awhile, trying to position some phoenixes inside the thing.
