hey folks,
i think there could be a utility in formally allowing the player fleet to "dock" at a market in order to accelerate in-game time without hitting the usual hotkey for that action, even making it faster than normal.
before i make an expedition into the outer volume, i want to unload the food in my cargo so i wait in the orbit of gilead or new maxios for a shortage event to uh 'maximize my effective altruism'*. doing this now uses up supplies and requires i speed up time manually, which is fine for watching fleets skate across the system, but i'd like for there to be a more natural way to hastily idle. maybe make it cost a trivial, but noticeable amount of credits?
hope this makes sense!
*(definitely not in the same vein you sell ai cores to the unprosecuted war criminals in tri-tach because those credits develop your fleet's arsenal, which probably mitigates more suffering than funneling credits directly into the hands of struggling chicomoztoc urban farmers)
