[Request] Dock direction indicators in build mode

Showing the directions ships face when landing on and taking off from docks and ship fabrication/maintenance modules would be very useful in the station design interface.

[Metran]

Docking modules does not have a "Entry" or "Exit" direction, you can dock facing either direction.

This however is not the case with L/XL-class Manufacturing / Maintenance modules which very much benefit from showing the Entry/Exit direction.

[A5PECT]

Only the player is free to face either direction when docking on a landing pad, or use both sides of an equipment dock/wharf/Terran dock module as entry and exit points. NPC-controlled ships always land facing "forwards", and use the designated "enter" and "exit" lanes when present.

[Metran]

I'm pretty sure that's just how the AI is programmed and has nothing to do with the Docks themselves - I have seen that the AI does only make clockwise turns regardless if it would be easier to turn counterclockwise

[A5PECT]

Yes. And I build stations to accommodate behaviors/limitations of the AI, to keep traffic flowing smoothly around busy stations.

Which is why I would like clearer indications of how docks work in station planning mode.
