Proposal
Add a small starship terminal, or maybe just an extra radial option to the escape pod panel, to allow pilots to relaunch in the ship they boarded from.
Justification
It doesn't make much sense for a player in another ship to dock with a POB vessel and then be stranded there with only landing the vessel or using the escape pod as options for leaving. Obviously models would get clunky and ridiculous if they showed the docked ships still attached, but it's not like the pilot set it to auto-pilot back to the starport when they board the POB. We've seen in multiple media ships docking and undocking from each other in space.
Motivation
QoL improvement, logical improvement. See justification.
Inspired by my attempt to assist another player with completing a difficult mission in space, only for them to get blocked from advancing it because they were onboard my gunship instead of their own craft.

how many of fighters* could fit inside a redigned POB hangar(i mean which, as daggers may fit, but alphabet wings pretty much wont, imp fighters need that new folding tech to fit anywhere), which would likely remove alot of other comps outright:/
 
This idea would be awesome, my guild and I were talking about this as an idea when we saw the capital ship tease comment in the the roadmap, this would be a great start. Maybe make it so only the smaller variety fighters can be launched from POB ship if the immersion aspect is a concern (How you supposed to fit a Kimo inside a YT? lol)
Would be cool to add the option to the escape pod terminal or add a ship terminal that can be placed on a POB. (This way it is an additional achievement on top of getting a POB)
Almost any way you implement this it would be awesome and welcome imo
also plz add Lambda shuttle for all pilots <3
