When ships are docked together, will they have to stay put, or could one or both ships fire their engines while docked?asked by Tille

Our plan for having ships docked together is that you'd have to kill your engines and sort of be adrift in space as opposed to flying along. That is the plan for when players meet each other, but we have some things like in SQ42 when a retaliator docks with a carrier, which would kind of be the equivalent of a merlin docking with the constellation. So, I guess in the kind of situation where you dock and leave your ship, yes the bigger would be able to fire its engines, but in the case of say, 2 constellations docking together they'd have to come to rest, dock, then you can do whatever you want to do, but if you want to then fly off somewhere you'd have to disconnect.
