It's full of logic that you cannot operate the control panel of a ship if you are not nearby, but at least allow us to access its information from ANY distance away, and if you wanted any reason: the crew could easlily transmit this info - and taking orders too. This would help keeping track of the energy levels of parked ships so we can return in time before their fuel reach 0 and throw to trashbin all the growing crops and fridge contents. That's only a minor reason, a serious reason is: I'd like to order my ship crew to raise the shields before approaching my CV, or to activate the turrets, all this could be done via the Registry, and all this should be distance-independant. At the present, your crew is in a mutiny state if you leave.
