How to Dock in Space

Docking is extremely complicated in real life, and the answer we came up with is...

automated docking.  Like, right after we had the idea of docking in the first place.

I remember... fuck, six and a half years ago now, trying to extrapolate from the tiny sample size of the first Guinevere breakdown on Spacedock and the short thing about designing the Stardancer to come up with headcanons about the CDF ships named in a now-unlisted Atamara Crossroads battle breakdown video on EckhartsLadder, which did include the Leander-class destroyer, Confiance-class frigate, and Tetrarch-class first-rate ship of the line that are known of today, but also mentioned a Gatekeeper-class second-rate ship of the line that I haven't heard of since then. Obviously, the stuff I did extrapolate from that was terrible in hindsight.

Because this is the kind of thing I remember instead of remembering important real life adult shit, there was a Q&A stream on Twitch around then in which someone asked about dedicated carriers and Daniel said such a thing did exist, namedropping a Lysara-class ship which was presumably dropped at some point between then and the current worldbuilding about fighters in this setting.
