Feature : Allow POS deployment at Station undock


Positive :
- Allow grid loading in safety, no more being podded before you grid loads.
- Allow safe transit of ships / transport of goods.
- Allow defensive ability to outpost using existing POS mechanics.
- Allow blocking docking/undocking via POS force field standings. i.e. a double lock - outpost standings for the owning corp and POS force field standings for a second owning corp.


Negatives :
- Allow hostile POS to forcibly eject ships that undocks
- Allow AWOX personnel to disrupt station usage
- Allow hostile forces to remove a station from use by deploying their own POS on your station.
- POS mechanics makes removing Station blockade difficult : shoot POS / reinforce POS for x days / take down POS.


Considerations :
- Ships should be able to redock from a different approach to station

Won't happen.

And even if it did, you'd have to anchor the tower far enough away from the station so that the force field doesn't intersect with the station collision polygon so it wouldn't work like you intended anyways.

Force field interacts with ship collision polygons just fine. It should be able to cover and interact the station undock area likewise.
