• Schedules can no longer be installed into the wrong ship.
• Old 0.1.x schedules migrate safely on first valid use.
• Installed schedules are locked while running, waiting, or docking.
• Dock linking is now explicit instead of nearest-dock guessing.
• Stations and transponders can highlight their linked dock in-world.
• Transponder preview now shows the full schedule route chain.
• Route legs use alternating colours for easier reading.
• Stations can now stop and start a selected ship from any distance.

Ponders and Sounds

Known Limitations

• Keep ship and route chunks loaded while schedules are running. If they unload, automation may stop and the ship may fall or drift.
• Schedules currently need to start from the first station in the route chain.
• Better chunk-unload handling and starting from any valid station in the schedule is planned for 0.3
