Delightful Docking

Overview

This OXP adds some small but popular improvements to docking and using the Docking Computer in Oolite. Any part can be easily removed if not required.

Details

Autopilot - When docking by autopilot you will often be placed in a queue. Normally your ship is just 'parked' as it is. This OXP causes your ship to be aligned with the station while you wait, allowing you to watch the station and the ships docking or leaving.

Rotation - This OXP slows the rotation of the stations. This is not to make docking easier, but rather to make the stations look better, as the slower rotation looks more realistic and makes the stations appear larger. These changes only affect the default stations (Coriolis, Dodecahedron and Icosahedron) and do not affect any OXP stations.

Music - This OXP also includes an orchestral recording of the Blue Danube (the Docking Computer music), which adds a bit of class to the whole docking experience. Full details are in the readme in the Music folder.
