Hi not sure if this has been suggested before but would it ever be likely that this sort of thing could be implemented. Bit like Mount & Blade if its not your station you pay a fee to wait and relax and at the same time. time carries on going. This would let the player recover their thoughts and such.


Just something to think about would add more options to the game. Being chased by a fleet you could never win but they would not want to engage the port would off a rest bite from small fleets and such.

Wouldn't hurt to have something like this, since you can already do it, but in more bothersome way - mothball all (but one?) of your ships and just stand still next to a station. No supplies will be used, and fuel is not used anyways.

I guess something like that could be added, with lower CR penalty (100% from mothballing) to say slowly degrading CR without dangers of incidents (you're pretty much "docked"), or flat ~20-50% CR taken when you "dock" (your crew goes for a drink and settles down for a while).

Yeah, would be nice to be able to skip some time staying at planet/station while your fleet maintenance cost decreased. Just check before leving that all your sailors back on board and no one missing.)
