As a shop bot, I would like to dock in station automatically

Dec 29, 2019 scham link
Docking was done previously with /explode. Shop interrupted exploding (by activating turbo) if any other player was close. Exploding in someones face would cause a faction standing drop. Currently it's not possible to "see" other players with lua api, so I'd like to have another way to dock.

Possible solutions:
1) Exploding would not cause damage
2) Interrupt explode, if some other player is close. (Implement it in vo client so that player data is not needed to be exposed via lua api.)
3) Provide lua api call to dock ship automatically
4) Devs would be so nice that they could move the inventory of any existing shop to chosen corvus station ;)

(I've been few years offline and don't know the exact details how the lua api was restricted because of spybots..)

Obvious +1 from me.

Change is unnecessary. Just turbo blindly until you hit 3km, jump to an unmonitored sector, and then explode with impunity.
