Docking your ship in a space station without causing damage can become a quite complicated task for large ships. You have to remember that your forward view from a ship like the Panther Clipper is not centered in the ship but instead you look out of your forward window that may be high above the center axis of your ship. As a result you have to aim not at the middle of the docking bay of a station but at a point somewhere in the upper half of the back wall of the dock. One nicely working trick is to use the outside view to look at your ship from a point in front of it and align your ship such that you look at it from within the station and it keeps well clear of the dock walls. In a station you may keep your landing gear up to keep your ship as small as possible.
