(See the best response by Kaiochao.)
Code:
mob/verb
    Dock(obj/Planets/P in oview(1))
        usr << "\green Hailing [src]-[src.sc]! This is [P]. Please stand by while we clear you for landing!"
        sleep(50)
        usr << "\green [src]-[src.sc] you are cleared for landing. Please begin docking proceedures"
        view() << "\green[src]-[src.sc] is beginning docking proceedures with [P]"
        docked = 1
        base_display(P)


Problem description:
I want to make it so that view() doesnt display that text to the usr, only the other players. Is there a way that this can work?

One way is to use oview(), which, ironically, you've already used in the code you provided. It automatically excludes the center (which is usr by default) from the list it returns.

The other way is to simply subtract usr from view().
