Well I am coming into this a week late but...

I really like those docking rings. I personally would probably only use
"female" ports and just stick pegs in when ships actually dock.  That
would eliminate the Gender specifics but still allow all angles of
docking.  As for the doors swinging inward.  Duh, why didn't I think of
that?! That is a great idea when one doesn't have the surface area to
make them sliding.
