Aight hear me out,
You fought bravely against some juicy npc pirates. You align to the next station send a request for docking and then you suddenly disappear mid space. Why not make a cutscene where u see yourself flying into the entrance. This would basically make up to the animation during docking. Then just add a botton to skip if you get tired of seeing it and be done with it. You can add useless fleet formations why not add a little more useless stuff to the little things ?
Just a suggestion from a cutie peace o/
