[Suggestion] Add Shipyard input trigger for undock/output signal for undocking

[thriple]

It would make for some interesting mechanics to undock a landed ship from the parent via logic. It would also help to have some output for "undocking" so bay doors can open when you leave.

The reason i say Shipyard is because its faster to land. Docking connectors are fine but they are slowwwwww. If the shipyard had a disconnect input i could pass a fighter ship from Shipyard (imprecise) to Connector (precise) with little trouble.

That's all!

Thanks so much for your hard work!

ya, would be nice if the shipyard had a logic input, it already has the event gate logic to do it

@thriple Hi, if I understand correctly you want to first dock with the shipyard, then undock, then use the docking connector? Thanks

@tsunamayo i do believe that is so, the current limiter is that a shipyard is unable to "kick" the player from itself, if it was capable of that, it would be possible

@tsunamayo Howdy! Yes just an "Undock" input for the Shipyard :D

Uses:

• Tow truck :: user approaches Shipyard control terminal and undocks ship > tows ship away
• Auto parking garage :: Shipyard detects docked status > robot arm positions > Shipyard undocks > arm engages maglock to carry away ship
• Mothership in multiplayer :: docked ship player is shooting out of the door > Mothership user undocks childship from terminal > ejects ship using negative gravity field
• Pass to Docking Connector :: Ship lands quickly with coarse accuracy > docked status triggers Docking Connector to position and initiate > Ship is now docked with fine accuracy automatically >>> fun things like cargo loading, robot arm servicing, repositioning, piston catapult 👀, etc.
