It is reasonable for SuperCap cannot dock in station dock in station because of it’s super size.
However, it also rise a much serious problem to the SuperCap player, they can’t give off their ship, as well as we can’t have normal eve daily life as the rest of other.

For the non-SuperCap player, they can fly any ship type with no restriction, but SuperCap player’s ship have been fixed. If they want to fly another ship, they have to face the security problem, which is very high risk and not to worth it.

As a result, SuperCap player just log in when they are in need and keep most of the time offline for safety reason, especially titian pilot. Then, there is no meaning to everyone. Non- SuperCap player won’t fly the SuperCap due to the inflexible.
SuperCap player won’t hang around with it’s ship keep most of the time offline, and playing another character.
Therefore, SuperCap disability of docking in station won’t rise the risk to SuperCap player, nor give a opportunity to other to hunt the SuperCap, but just give everyone inconvenience.

it is normal for Players to determine to fly which type ship by considering on the feature of the ship. But it is ridiculous to determine to fly a SuperCap by considering whether you are willing keep your character offline most of the time. And for most of the old character with a lot of skill points, the answer must be no.

So if it is just because the super size problem for SuperCap to Dock, it can be easy solve by building a much bigger station if the alliance wanna dock the SuperCap

Please try to get someone to proofread your post after using google translate in the future. Supercapitals are already obscenely safe by all accounts. I can't imagine that providing a larger level of safety would be a good thing.

The difference between docking and never logging in is almost indistinguishable. I'd be all for letting them dock.

Space coffins are a terrible mechanic.

Space Coffins are excellent mechanic.
Every one know the rules - no one forbids you to train / buy pilot that will only sit in this super.

They are too big and need such a mechanic.

But in the next updates they will be able to stick at stations and stuff

Please explain why it is a good mechanic. The ability to log off renders the inability to dock obsolete. There are absolutely minimal risk increases vs a severe quality of life loss.

So long as ships are removed from space at log off, the mechanic is stupid and redundant.

Supers playing station games is why. Putting such powerful ships in combat should be a commitment.

That could be fixed in half a second by a tweak to HIC scripts like was done with gates (and incidentally, I think this should happen globally for HICs but I digress). Plus I'm sure most of us have seen a revenant being popped in a drive by...

It's a seriously crappy halfway house. Not being able to dock should mean "never disappears from space" (which will never happen) or lift the docking limit. It's stupid and is easily fixed.

As it stands, it just encourages not playing and overbuffs intel abilities as you KNOW people are locked into a certain hull.

There are some kinks (as you mention) which would need knocked out, but I firmly believe it would offer an overall net gain.

No docking for Supers or Titans.
