Flow control implementation of hydrogen/oxygen/power
Not Enough Votes
I would like to suggest that you implement flow control of hydrogen, oxygen, and power through connectors. Or through a new block. This would allow for the limiting of power drawn to or from connected ships/stations. The same for hydrogen/oxygen. Uni-directional or bi-directional. This might require changes to stockpiling and recharging of tanks/batteries. This might require some attention paid to having multiple ships connected to a station through one primary connector and multiple other connectors.

Here are the two methods I have come up with for implementing control of the flow of resources through connecters.
implementation 1:
Assign three user configurable variables to connecters. A negative value indicates unrestricted flow of the resource through the connecter. A zero value indicates no flow of the resource through the connecter. A positive value sets the upper limit of the resource that is allowed to flow through the connecter.
implementation 2:
The same variables are used for this implementation. A negative value sets the maximum amount of the resource that is allowed to flow through the connecter. A zero value indicates no flow of the resource through the connecter. A positive value sets the upper limit of the flow rate of the resource allowed through the connecter. A default value set by Keen will be used to indicate unrestricted flow of the resource through the connecter.
In each implementation it is assumed that the flow direction is from the connector to the connecter it is locked with. Also it is assumed that Keen will set all variables to a default value of unrestricted flow through the connecter. This assures that they will behave the same as they currently do by default.
