do u remember the transport docking rig??? if some modders would link that the the docking sequence...

otherwise, it seems the docking ring is hardwired to accept only small ships

Ya - have it set to can_use_berths in the shiparch.ini file instead of can_use_large_moors

Then go to solararch.ini file and add the phantom_physics = true line to the bottom of the docking ring entry.

Also - you could change it to can_use_jumps - but i cannot be bothered to explain, as you will still need to change the docking ring thing still as well as station/moor point entries for whereever you want to dock

Now - also - you might have to change the position of the HpMount in the CMP file for the ship (like the rheinland battleships one) so that it won't explode when leaving the planet.

Basically though there is a thread in the tutorials sectino on HOW TO MOOR BATTLESHIPS. That is the bit i cannot be bothered to type out right now, go check it out in tutorials forum!
