A very basic concept for a docking port. 1 to control docking arm, 2 and VTOL up to lock into the port, and 3 to test the dock integrity.

I did some extra testing, and for some weird reason you don't even need to rotate to lock it. Just move the arm all the way up and press 3 and the same exact results are reached.

Yeah, I completely agree with you. I was just sharing a concept on how it would work, but I could make it plenty smaller and more "cubic" per say. In fact, that was my plan. Thank you for the feedback though, it's always appreciated.
Interesting but too bulky to be practical
