    Summary: My docked ship disappeared when freighter self-destructed

    Description: My docked ship disappeared when freighter self-destructed

    Steps to Reproduce: Take SV into space. Disable a freighter. Message comes up indicating 5 minutes to self destruct. Find and destroy the freighter's core. Go back to your SV and dock onto freighter. When freighter disappears, so does the SV.

    Screenshots, Crash Logs, and other Relevant Information or Download links:

    Some suggested fixes:
    When a freighter self-destructs, right now it just vanishes, which makes no sense. Instead use a timer and explosive blocks. Same concept as you've used in bases when a motion sensor or switch triggers an explosion.
    There should always be debris after a ship self destructs. If my SV was docked and in the blast radius, it would be damaged, which would make sense. I was inside freighter when it disappeared. If you used explosive blocks and a timer, I would have died, which would make more sense.
    Also, there was no count down. It would be nice to have a count down so I knew when to evacuate the ship before it explodes.

    If you dock a vessel to a structure that is set to get removed/self destruct anything docked will get removed also.
    In the future do not dock to any such structures.
