Myrhrai Isalia Rosiir	I was looking at stations earlier, like I have in the past and there is something that always irked me. Some stations have docking ports, and others have docking bays. What is the exact difference? I assume that bays actually dock the ship inside the station while ports are an external docking mechanism. Do docking ports still take from the W/V of the station as bays do?

Lilith Delcroix	I remember back few years ago there was some use for the Ports, I think maybe being able to transfer vehicles between them or something, but I can't really remember anymore. ____________ Benedicta Per Gratiam Jou --> Lvl 5 FI Operator - Free Service <--

J`dej An`k	Are there some future plans for docking ports, or those will vanish in time?

Krava Bishto	So I have a question about docking bays. Exactly how large of a vehicle can a docking bay hold? For example: could the Horizon Star Yacht's (http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Freighters&ID=183) docking bay hold the ATR-6 Assault Transport (http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Freighters&ID=110)? ____________ ~Krava Bishto

J`dej An`k	No, it cant. Both weight cap and volume cap of ship must be calculated. Both weight and volume of ATR cant fit in Horizon.

Ichiru Hanabusa	look at the weight and volume cap of a ship then compare that to the weight and volume of another ship and if the second ship is lower on both numbers than the firsts cap then yes
