AI Guidance / Control Tower

New AI block: Guidance - stores list of desired connectors and their approach waypoints as well as an exit GPS, these can be made the same way projectors align themselves, eg. waypoint 1 is Xblocks to the left, Yblocks above and Zblocks in front of the associated Connector. These coordinates are broadcast via antenna or from guidance block itself when eligible remotes come within range

New functionality: Remote Control - Accept Override - checkbox to allow tower control, and dropdown for sub actions desired.

"Request Dock" sub-action: Receive waypoint info from nearby Guidance block and orders to HoldPosition/Autopilot to dock at provided connector.

"Request Departure" sub-action: Receive waypoint info from nearby Guidance block for connected/assigned connector then autopilot the waypoints in reverse and head to Exit GPS before finally disabling at GPS or outside range, whichever comes first.

Tags could be given by Guidance and sought by Remote, such as: Import, Export, Trade, Passenger, Resupply.

Import and Export are ideal for drones with set tasks.

Trade is ideal for short term parking / Visitor / From an otherwise hostile faction.

Passenger is ideal for long term parking / Faction Member.

Resupply is ideal for patrol craft that have to periodically return to re-arm or re-fuel.

While Remote Control is being overridden, the craft is treated as neutral by otherwise hostile defences and likewise the onboard weapons treat the overriding faction as neutral.

If hostile, "Trade" might be the only type of override request accepted

Incoming Craft would be spread evenly across the relevant connectors, allowing for more traffic and less clumping that occurs should more than one ai craft wish to dock at the same time.

Allows the re-tasking of drones without having to teach each individual drone how to dock with a given target.

This would also allow faction members and visitors alike to be able to dock and trade with stations without fear of collision from drones and allow trading between factions that might not otherwise be possible.

Not to mention the possibility for NPC trader visits...
