Hi Dan,
I very like the Arrow and this new version looks great :thumbup:
I don't know if this was mentioned anywhere before: Did you ever notice that if putting a DGIV into safe mode while docked to Arrow the crew is not listed in Arrow and not consuming O2? So I always turn off some more systems to avoid safe mode and then eva manually, then crew is really in the Arrow. Maybe this easily fixed for next version.
The combo Arrow with docked DGIV is my favorite team for interplanetary flight. So I agree it would be a bad idea to crash the docking when applying thrust as suggested before. I always imagine some arresting hooks holding my DGIV into docking bay since a nosecone-dock is of couse not for that purpose.
Maybe later there could be a button "arrest" to do some visual thing. Ramming a bar into the vessel mesh at dock level would be ok, I could think of it to have stopped at vessels hull. And maybe then the vessels data could be stored and the whole vessel replaced by an only-mesh version. This would allow landing with docked vessel. Just an idea.

And for that...
A [change skin] button on a control panel looks weird to me. A complete repaint doesn't usually involve buttons.
Didn't you notice all these little robots being activated by that button, crawling all over the Arrow and using brushes to paint it all over? :lol:
