On a base we have all seen those rings under the ship that make the ship float up magically. A nice piece of quick sci-fi to get the problem across.

Looking ahead though from this 10 year old game, what would be actual ways in which ships like tranports would dock/mourn inside a station? Wheels? Some of them dont have flat bottoms. Example is the serenity.

Would they be attached by strong cables? Perhaps a docking bridge similar to what we have in airports for passengers to enter but this time the arm holds on? Perhaps even an arm from the ceiling or two to hold the ship?

For the purpose of simplicity and for my work, we are assuming that the docking bay has 0 gravity. How do you think would be best to help the ship in one place?


Pictures of examples?
