Next to a wall, I find 3x5 to be a better size for a spartan bed. Annoying
to build, but you can fit a minifig on it without half of him hanging off. :)
2x5 is fine if it sticks out from a wall or something like that.

to see wanting to dock one ship to another, but having someone else build
some segment of the interior of "my" ship isn't as neat an idea.
On the other hand, interesting designs to do these sorts of things with
minimum part expenditure for maximum results _is_ a neat idea, to me. :)
