I was wondering how docking with other ships would work. For example, RSI's ships have the docking collar extending out to make a secure seal. On the Freelancer though it seems to be more like what you'd see on a submarine. Will for example the Constellation series be able to initiate docking with other ships, while other will not?asked by Calec

So on the docking collar side, that's something that's on our schedule we want to get the docking collar together, we haven't fully fleshed out the design the idea would be to have, in most cases, a unifying telescoping tunnel that can connect to them. Maybe not all ships would have them, so obviously RSI ships like an Aurora could quite easily dock with a Constellation but potentially it wouldn't necessarily be as easy to do perhaps an Aurora doesn't dock with a Freelancer: you have to get outside, EVA over and then go in through the airlock of the Freelancer.So generally we think in most cases the bigger ships with the airlocks would be able to do the airlock docking and the smaller ones may or may not be able to. But we've still got to work the mechanics and features out of that so it is hard for me to give a blanket statement other than say that I don't it is going to be consistent that everything can dock with everything else. So if ships have standardised docking rings then there is a good likelihood that those ships could dock together.
