I missed those posts, but I'll tell you about my standard docking port.  A
picture of one of the ports can be seen at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=9903.  When two ships dock,
I just pop four Technic friction pins (the black ones) in the holes and snap
the two ships together.  It makes a pretty good "hard dock."

Your design inspired me to build this docking port.

I 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 what good is a universal standard if only a
couple people can use it.)

I will be interested to hear the feedback of the group.

Umm, to me it looks like a fortunecity gif. I'd love to see the real thing
so I can incorporate it into my spacecraft.

Thanks,

George
