(...) Your design inspired me to build this docking port. (URL) like the idea of technic peg "docking clamps" and utilized that. I made my dock wider and tried to use the most generic parts possible so that everyone could use the design. (After all (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) I like the sliding doors, but I don't think it needs to be so big. On a smaller ship, that size would be a bit of a handicap... --Bill. (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) I think that the doors are the biggest problem in a universal docking system: big ships can have sliging doors bot on smaller craft there is nowhere near enough room. Hatches or something like that need to be used. Ill have a fiddle around in (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.space)

This makes me think of the small personnel transports that we see in Star Trek 1 and 2 (the movies) where the small craft dock to a small round docking port on the side of the ship. Sort of like externally mounted escape pods that can be piloted (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.space)
