Overview


A little script which gives each system main station a traffic control department, whose job it is to guide new Commanders (and a few old hands who have become too reliant on docking computers) on the best route for manual approach and docking into the station. They oversee all traffic from station aegis and planetary approach right up until the actual docking itself. Also they keep an eye on ships leaving the station and wish people a bon voyage. Just don't dally in the approach lane and get in everyone's way, or you'll feel their wrath!


Future plans


A planned addition in Oolite version 1.72 is the implementation of docking clearance. Once the script-accessible code for this feature is finalised, its use will be added into this OXP.


Requirements


This OXP requires at least version 1.71 of Oolite.

The traffic controllers also assume that any Commander's ship equipped with Docking Computers can look after itself in terms of approach and docking.
