Diameter of docking ports

[jtiberius]

Hi everybody,

can someone tell me the inner and outer diameter of
the docking ports, let´say of the DG IV or Ravenstar?

That would be very appreciated!
I needed this for my new ship which is currently in development.

Thank you very much!

the ravenstar uses a different sized port to the other DG's, i built it to the same size as the shuttle / iss docks... I actually did this by loading the atlantis mesh into my scene and using that as a direct comparision, i even considered just using that geometry (provided i could get permission from the original authors) but in the end built my own. The other DG's have a much smaller port that doesn't really connect to anything other than themselves in a realistic way.

there's also another standard coming into use in the real world, the low impact docking system which is somewhere between the 2 sizes... ravenstar may be modified to this standard in the future if there's a need.

I quit docking to ISS for that reason! It drives me nuts when I see it!
