Question on docking ports

@Toinkove ok,i see, thanks!

Well "disabling" the port will skip the "docking" status but .... since you are using the port for a function it wasn't designed for (a canon) this might not work! Maybe if you reduce the magnetic strength but who knows!

@Toinkove btw thanks

@Toinkove What i was trying to ask was if one can skip that status (im making autoloaders for cannons and the reload speed is limited because of it)

@Toinkove sorry about the late reply, the undocking status shows up whenever you undock a docking port. The port, in it's status, shows 'undocking' and cannot be docked to until it leaves that status.

yep checked it out! You can "disable" the docking port to undock (without that annoying tendency to re-dock) then just reenable the port and dock with another port!

Ok I think what you are referring to is when you select a docking port and click "undock". The craft will separate (the status will read "undocking") and often separate a bit but then be drawn back in and re-dock. This was so annoying to me I stopped "undocking" quite some time ago. Instead try selecting one of the ports connected and just disable one of those ports by clicking the on/off switch in the window that pops up. The craft will separate and not be drawn back together. I assume if you wanna redock another craft or to another port all you have to do is then turn the disabled port back on.

This is confusing, not even sure I know what you are talking about. Might just be me but please describe what "undocking status" is
