problem with docking

I have created a ship, everything works find except it tries to dock off center and gets stuck in gates, I have seen this on other models and wont leave it like this, what is the problem here?

Try an experiment. Use the Ghost Docking Ring in FLMM ad see if it will dock. If it does, you may have to change the size of the ship to dock with out that mod. You can change the dock option to moors too as an alternative.
Example
ship_class = 0
nickname = li_fighter
LODranges = 0, 40, 60, 140, 300, 1000
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_shiparch_Liblf
mission_property = can_use_berths ;change to can_use_med_moors
type = FIGHTER
mass = 100.000000

umm, don't change to moors unless you know what your doing that requires some extra work so the moors will actually dock you to base rather then just leave ya sitten in stall outside the station That's a topic for another thread, but if I recall correctly it's changing the moor lines of docking_sphere= to "jump" in the solararch.ini. So don't change the docking of ships to moor over berths untill you change the solararch to allow you to moor, else you'll just end up stuck in space

If it's a custom model, I'de recommend moving your HpMount further up front on your ship cause the docking sequence ends based on when the HpMount "crosses the threshold," and would probably be a better option then activating all moors

In other words, forget about mooring, just move your hp mount infront of your ship (well unless it's a really really freakin large ship of battleship and up size, then if your hpmount is too far forwards the rear will crash into the planets when you undock, causing you to die... but as long as it's not "that" big, you can move the hpmount up front)

awsome, I just moved the mount forwards and up a little and she's fine, thanks guys, you are invaluable.
