No, In order for there to be a docking capability, the Stationary [in the hardpoint] in the ships proerties must be selected.
at least when I tried it in several bases, if it was not checked, the game crashed.
But why does there need to be a dock function at all, other than recreating the seen where they got out of the ship and walked to Vjer. but you can't walk on the hull anyway. so agian ask why?
