I need a couple of questions answwered. How many docking ports does the Ganymede have? When I looked at it in FRED it only seemed to have one (labeled "blah blah" of all things...) when the database entry says it is capable of docking up to five ships at once.
What I'm wondering is this: Is anyone willing to modify the Ganymede just by adding four more docking points to it so it can have several ships docked to it and look like a REAL repair facility?

Um... forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't FS2 only allow single ship to ship docks?
What I mean is, even if the Gany had five docks, you'd only be able to use one at a time. The other ships would look like they were docked, which is what most everybody does anyway.

Correct...even if there are five bazillion (not that the engine would let you do that) dock ports, you could only every have ONE ship docked.
Now, as far as simulating docked ships, just some good placement in FRED2 will do the trick.
