Question about docking with transports and other larger ships.

[TempJ]

While reading the Discovery Wiki, I noticed that some larger ships can't dock with planets directly and instead have to use mooring fixtures. Unclear was left to me that does this apply to space stations too? I don't recall any stations having their own mooring fixtures, so I assume those larger ships can dock with stations normally? I just want to be sure, since I would rather not flush a few million credits down the toilet.

Stations have hidden points as mooring fixtures

You cant dock on a planet because it dont fit in a docking ring, thats why.

The same with the little doors on most stations - larger ships simply moor on the side of the station or in orbit of the planet (with shuttles or something to take them and goods to the surface).

Its one of those little `this doesn`t make sense ` things in disco where you just have to accept that it works.
Yea the stations are smaller than the ships... but hey, its all ok right? One of the bases that really makes you understand it at the point of LORE is Norfork shipyard and the Liberty Dread parked at it.

Its funny cause sometimes when i used to fly my Hedjmon (miner ship. i forgot how to spell it right) it got even stuck inside bases and i had to "/stuck" one or two times. That was way back though... dunno if its fixed or not.

So yea, the little pole sticking out of stations are the things u gotta aim for to quick-dock that's about as easy as it gets.
For asteroid stations its right where there is a glass dome above the entrance to the door as well.

With Hegemon docking in Bathlehem Station base in Pennsylvania just nearly impossible. Because this ship trying to dock through some base textures and /stuck won't help at all. I think this can happen to any large ships there.

Yes, Bethlehem Station is mostly undockable with larger ships, but there is trick. Move your ship with a higher speed directly to the "docking" point and press F3 when you are going to crash the station. That is still the most successfull way for me.

e.g. Docked on the station with our huge Renzu Liner.
