What Docking Port Do You Use?

[Captainredfox]

I've seen a lot of "universal" docking ports but lets try and make a community effort to find out which ones are actually compatible.

Post your designs here with a similar post structure to this:

1. [PlayerName], [DockingPortName]

Here are the two types that I use:

1. Captainredfox, 3x3 mini

2. Captainredfox, 5x5 Standard

Please post your designs, lets make a truly universal dock!

We already have a USD accepted and in general use.

For being universal I've never heard of it, care to enlighten me?

The starmade USD. Just look at any major factions ships, its even making its way onto official content.

USD-1 As described here:

Example:

Edit: Where possible, I'll actually put a ring of standard docks all the way around a port, so you can dock in any orientation needed.

Okay, I see this thread was a waste. Is there a way to delete it?

A minor correction- the current USD would be USD-2. The USD-1, although short-lived, was very much a thing. As I recall, it more resembled CaptainRedfox' second proposition, except with only one, opposing set of docker/rail. It had the slight advantage that the rail/docker couldn't be switched accidentally, as long as both pointed inwards, but was ultimately abandoned in favor of the USD-2's better space for buttons and non-existent constraints on door size.
