There is a debate currently going on in the lewis game in which a ground telescope was docked with another ship, and that ship was sent off to some unexplored starsystem, at which point the telescope was undocked, and sent of drifting in the system. The telescope could then be used to examine the previously unexplored planets in the system. There is no doubt that this should not be able to happen, but it also brings about a bigger question... Should *any* ship with a max_speed of zero be allowed to even *leave* the planet? Right now the following ships have their max_speed set to zero: a Atmosph Process @ Govrnmnt. Cente G Gamma Ray Laser F Factory [ AVPM Transporte P Planet Def Net q Quarry K Space Plow Y Dome W Weapons Plant J Space Port & ABM Battery R Mech b Bunker Out of all of these, the only one I can see that should be allowed to leave the planet is the Mech's. The reason I am bringing this up, is in several files there are tests to prevent certain ships from being docked or undocked. For example in land.c it prevents quarries from being loaded, and in launch.c it prevents factories from being loaded. I am trying to come up with identifier to determine if a ship can be docked with another ship for the purpose of leaving the planet. What ships should be allowed to leave the planet? Personally I think the only ones that shouldnt be allowed to leave are Factories, and Ground telescopes, and maybe bunkers.
