Most shuttles are oversized to display right when flown.
You need to alter the ship's (the ship you want to return to) HP.
There should be 2 property with a name similar to "shuttle bay". Like:

Shuttle Bay

and

Quote

Shuttle Bay_OEP

The first one (without oep) has a

Quote

SetRadius

attribute somewhere. This is the one you need to change.
Most shuttles are (AFAIK) smaller than 0.3.

There is no other way around this that i'm aware of.

To get the actual shuttle size, you could use the ingame console, when flying the shuttle.
You can open it with the (depending on language) ^ or ~ keys, but I believe it is always the most top-left one, directly below escape.
Then type:

Quote

import App
import MissionLib
print MissionLib.GetPlayer().GetRadius()

KrrKs is correct on how to fix this. Go to your root star trek bridge commander folder and follow this path (your root)\scripts\ships\Hardpoints. Find the ship you wanna increase the shuttle bay size with, you can find the ships hardpoint by scanning the ship you wish to change in quick battle it should give you the ships name in the science officers drop down menu.
Open the hardpoint of the ship you wanna change some ships have more then 1 shuttle bay.
example below:

#################################################
ShuttleBay = App.HullProperty_Create("Shuttle Bay")

ShuttleBay.SetMaxCondition(24000.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetCritical(0)
ShuttleBay.SetTargetable(1)
ShuttleBay.SetPrimary(0)
ShuttleBay.SetPosition(-0.014989, 0.048332, 0.139694)
ShuttleBay.SetPosition2D(60.000000, 56.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetRepairComplexity(1.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetDisabledPercentage(0.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetRadius(0.100000)
App.g_kModelPropertyManager.RegisterLocalTemplate(ShuttleBay)

now change the part where it says ShuttleBay.SetRadius(0.100000) to ShuttleBay.SetRadius(0.500000) so when your done it should look like this.
#################################################
ShuttleBay = App.HullProperty_Create("Shuttle Bay")

ShuttleBay.SetMaxCondition(24000.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetCritical(0)
ShuttleBay.SetTargetable(1)
ShuttleBay.SetPrimary(0)
ShuttleBay.SetPosition(-0.014989, 0.048332, 0.139694)
ShuttleBay.SetPosition2D(60.000000, 56.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetRepairComplexity(1.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetDisabledPercentage(0.000000)
ShuttleBay.SetRadius(0.500000)
App.g_kModelPropertyManager.RegisterLocalTemplate(ShuttleBay)

this should allow to dock most if not all shuttle craft you could increase the value to say 0.7500000 to suite your needs.
This method will have be done on every ship that you want to dock the larger shuttle craft with.
