Problems with Carriers

[Tepacana]

I have been trying to make a carrier, I used the setup shown in this picture, the first problem is where the ship snaps to the rails but doesn't move. I'm not sure what the orientation for the pickup point block means.

The third Picture is of my Carrier, the Reliant. It has a similar docking mechanism and a similar problem.

This is the position the ship gets stuck in:
The Ship gets stuck on the pickup rail block:

As far as I'm aware the orientation of the pickup point doesn't matter. The docker on the entity that is closed enough to the pickup point will meet up and orientate with the closest rail to the pickup point.

It is possible to use logic to activate and deactivate the pickup points and new pickup rails. So its possible to disable them when you place them. Which then requires you to turn them on for them to work.
