Docking ports.. Docking, Bays.
Well, now were starting to have some truly inspiring stations, new shapes and sizes for all to explore and be confused by.
On to my point...
It seems reasonable that in the future of vendetta, there will be ships bigger, and perhaps much bigger than what we are flying at the moment, special ships for various purposes... npc ships for background..
Perhaps we should have Docking Bays, in addition to port. The distinction being that the Bay would be much larger. Such as, the same width as, 8 busses end to end, and 6 busses high? Could have glimpses of machinery or something inside of it. Could even allow normal sized ships to dock in them, several at a time? For group missions?
Other idea for a large port would be a mission drop. You go pick up your cargo at one station, fly it to another, enter the large docking bay, and instead of docking, selling, all that, you just eject your cargo, right there, and the station takes it and credits your for it, then a new set of instructions pop up on your HUD, and some cargo pops into existance inside your ship.
Gives us missions in a hurry? Or just large places that are easily spotted for docking.

/me thinks about the level of detail that would have to go into a docking bay.
/me thinks about the traiding without selling
um im not sure i can see that as part of vendetta's near future. Bays would be cool, but it would require a major change to a lot of the stations. Cap ships haven't even made it into the game yet...

I seem to remember a previous conversation with the devs where they refered to this size of bay as the 'medium bays'. So, I suspect that the devs are way ahead of you on this.
