Have you docked at one of his Salvage Gangs (Anarchies OXP)? Did you ever manage to dock with his Isis Interstellar in G2 Cebior? And have you docked at a Hathor?
I just tried docking to a Nuit. It's of impressive size. The rotating hexagon did neither distract or cause me problems.
But as soon as the nose of my ship dipped into the docking bay, the docking bay and top of the station were totally transparent. I could see space behind and the rod that connects the docking level with the others.

I stopped there and looked front, left right and back and can confirm only the nose was inside. The side views properly showed the station wall and docking port as that camera was still outside. While the ship was stopped my docking clearance was revoked and i was several times told I would not have any parking clearance. After some time a system vessel (Galcop?) started shooting me so I powered up and went inside.

The rotating hexagon sometimes disappeared as I neared the dock.

I’ve worked out a fix for the vanishing dock issue, although it’s more of a cover-up than a fix. It involves creating a visual effect of the dock, then spawning it at the same time the station is spawned, but slight larger than the original dock to avoid flickering graphical artifacts. I’ve applied it to Taranis and working on Nuit now. Might have something to share tomorrow.

Interesting idea.

If the dock is intended to be used by freighters it should be a bit wider. Yes actually there was the request to dock outside.

Why a moving wall so close to the dock? What is it's purpose?
cos it looked cool at the time.
