    Since it's possible to build giant starships and giant space stations, there should be a way for capital ships to dock with space stations. Perhaps blocks shared by both stations and ships that link up to each other.



    Another thing that would be cool would be if it were possible to park a large ship above a planet and have it move along with said planet. That way you could leave a ship that is too heavy for planetary landing in orbit and land in a smaller shuttle, or build a space station that can remaine in place above a planet.

    its is possible to dock ships with both turrets and shuttles with stations safe and easy with the use of plex doors simply put a loop like ring half ring on the side of your ship the more you have the more stable you will be docked then use plex doors as the apossing ring thats on the station well the plex doors are inactive fly your ships ring into it and then park the ship when done manuvering activate the plex doors and there you have it the rings should be looped throw one another get back in your ship go full speed ahead your ship with only move till the rings hit and will be stationary this works even with the collision teleportation implemented your ship wont move



    two things to note one press c and reorintate your ship before trying to dock makes life easyer

    and with practice and effort you can hide the rings or even just make them look better on my server we have 400m to 2000m ships held to stations with this method
