Mmmmm. Tried a bunch of different ways. Next best is to dangle them below
a docking arm, underneath the ship, which is cool, but means the ship can't
land.
I'm not really attached to landing per se, but since the ship has to sit
around on a shelf anyway, it just seems to make sense to let it do so
without needing a stand.

Double the width presumeably. Love to. Need more bricks :-)

There are 6 docking ports she can attach to - whichever one seems handiest I
guess. I tend to use the lower, aft facing port (in front of the engines).

Mmmmm. Might need to move them.
