Ships still attacking while docked at base
I am doing a mission. When a get to the base and dock. Their is trouble because when I dock I still think my ship is getting damaged. Then I find I lost my ship.

Welcome to one of our distinctive features... Life goes on when you're at a base. No place to hide... But if it bothers you you can turn it off; I don't remember how tho...
Klauss, Spirit, I think this feature needs a bit of adjustment, tho; like if there's a big fleet attacking a base, okay, but a couple of retros flying cheap ships shouldn't be able to damage a ship parked inside a base; as they'd be too busy dodging bolts from the base's defenses, no?

There's one way I'm thinking it could be fixed... there should be both internal and external docking points. Depending on where you dock, you can be attacked or not. The base can always be attacked and destroyed, and in that case you always die.
The other that has to be done in parallel, is enhance base defenses so that they really are dangerous for attackers.
Just ideas, I don't think I'll have the time to code them in the near future (the thing about mixed internal/external docks gets a little tricky).
A faster thing to do is have all-internal/all-external docks, depending on vegastrike.config settings. I don't know... maybe...
