You might be limited to getting them to use Large Docking Moors, which of course would limit access to some planets

This can be done very easy by opening SolarArch.ini and look for these kind of lines:
docking_sphere = berth, HpDockMountA, 300, Sc_open dock1

raise the value behind HpDockMountA and docking shoul'd appear sooner.

good luck

Hmmm
It´s worth a try

One of the more usual ways of getting this to work is to use the JUMP command.
In your SOLARARCH entry for the base amend one of the docking lines (normally a moor) to this,

docking_sphere = Jump, HpDockMountA, 75.000000

Then in your SHIPARCH entry for your ship make sure you have this line amended so it reads like this,

mission_property = can_use_jumps

You will also need to amend the entry in the mShipsProps.ini DATA\Missions\mShipProps.ini, so it reads like this,

[mShipProps
archetype_id = yourshipname
prop = can_use_jumps

The fallout from all this is that big ships will now dock at that point. Best not to use it on berths as it looks really stupid if you have a battleship trying to dock in a berth so use one of the moor settings and change that to the JUMP command in SOLARARCH. You might have to vary the distance setting i gave you, maybe raise it, experiment to get the right setting.

@noobster

That's gonna look silly with a battleship trying to go into a berth, also there's the possibility of the ship getting stuck, other thing is smaller ships will dock so far away from the berth, you're then missing the point of having the berth docking sequence

He said that they did it nicely on the TNG mog, so i explained how they did it there.
This way all ships can dock at every planet.
