A much more logical thing would be the wings folding in on docking for example, i mean you are docking on a carrier they will have limited space (as your shields go down when you dock so it could be added possibly into the docking animation. A button you could just press and the wings would fold would rule though, from an RP standpoint. Guns could not be able to fire with the wings folded in so it would become a "peaceful" posture.
the wings are a separate part on vanilla ships anyway, so it would be possible to rig something like this up for a vanilla ship.
