Train (Capship) docking is cool, also with the longer docking sequences (as long as there is no bug), but there is a difference how ppl think about the Game while playing it. Some are just event related (i know many :D). These Guys want to make money afap - best for them would be to just undock and dock again to earn money.
The others are playing the Game and want to see a most beautifull and realistic enviroment while playing, they do not need many ships or a complete fleet.
About reality: I am living in a city with a harbor in RL where big and small ships land. The bigger the ship is, the more time it needs to land.
If i compare this with a giant Train loaded with much cargo, guaranteeing a large profit because of the amount of goods it provides i see nothing wrong if such a Ship needs even much time to moor and if some skilled pilots are able to dock faster, well, they will then, because of their experience, earn some bucks faster than others. Mission accomplished, since they was working hard for their skills.
Over the years i am playing this Mod, it is becoming more and more realistic, nice and sophisticated were most of the new initiated featured was critizised in the beginning and also often personalised to the creator itself. After some time passed - ppl (especialy new players) didn´t even mentioned but applaused these changes. Also it is notable that if a feature is not well seen over a long time, it was redone.
My 2 cents regarding this topic is just one word - adapt.
