I know it can be done with plugins but I think auto repair/reload on docking should be built into the game.

Add an interface tickbox control for anyone who likes clicking boxes.

I'm not opposed. It could be "Auto Repair Ship on Docking" and "Auto Reload Ammo on Docking" and both are disabled by default.

I don't really want to default them to enabled, as sometimes that can be expensive for non-Veteran players.

Would love to see this, I already use auto R/R plugin for this but having it built-in would be a bonus.

if so, it should have an option to differentiate between stations and ships.. ie, be able to enable auto reload repair on caps only and omit r/r in stations. may be even have a credit threshold for station r/r..

basically what my script does already...

I think that's not a bad idea but could potentially run into a depth of scope issue. I'd say differentiate between capital vessels, and maybe employ a credit limit too. I could be interpreting your post more as differentiate *all* ships and that not being your intent.

yea may be im not super clear. i mean a capship is a dock.. so.. we could auto r/r when we dock in a capship but not in a station should we choose, as well as set an upper limit for spending.

come to think of it, i believe if you currently auto refill when you dock, that will include *cargo* (at least it used to).. so for example, if im carrying depleted tu mines as cargo they reload even though they arent equipped. if thats still the case this behavior could use some adjustment as well. (that shouldnt happen)

Thanks Inc.

Glad it's helpful :).

Noting for posterity, was added last week:

** Vendetta 1.8.691
- Added options to enable Auto-Repair and Auto-Reload on docking with stations or capships, with options for only capships. The options are located in Options -> Advanced -> Interface "Auto-repair on docking" and "Auto-reload on docking". The options are disabled by default.
