Must a character effect resolve fully, and what happens when it can't, such as with no docked ships?
The rulebook's character clarifications set mandatory, as-fully-as-possible resolution, and forum replies apply it to docked ships.
Character effects are mandatory and resolve as fully as possible. Your turn is not skipped: if part of an effect can't be used, like the docked-ship part, the rest still resolves, and the turn is wasted only when nothing resolves. The Travel Agent is the exception, since its effect must resolve fully or not at all. A Soldier still makes its kill as far as it can without docked ships.
