First thing I want to start with is saying that I'm not hating On anyone's model in fact alot of these models I'm about to discuss look amazing however after playing the Battle 1 Mission 2 : Rescue Uncle Antan (Family Mission) I notice when you dock with PLT 5 (new model) The craft is located must higher than the platform and this effects your ability to shoot at in coming fighters.

This may have been an oversight in some of the opt settings, it happens. I recommend you specify the ship model you were flying at the time, because it more than likely has everything to do with the opts involved and not the mission. I specified a similar issue with the ISD and CR90 recently.

You fly with the Corellian YT-2000 (Otana) and the platform is the XQ-5 Platform

So its probably an issue with either of the docking... modules? On the opt. I forget what Darksaber called it.

The QX5 opt is missing any "dock from small" hardpoints. The game appears to be generating a default hardpoint at the vertical centerline of the model, and at its highest extents, which is the top of the radio mast. Adding an appropriate hardpoint to the upper central main hull (the very first mesh) at a more logical location should fix the issue.

The original opt doesn't have "dock to small" hardpoints on it
The hardpoints are exactly the same as on the new platform 5 as they are on the original model
Try replacing the new opt with the original opt, and see if you get that same result before you start messing about adding hardpoints!

The craft docks at the top of the platform, which is an antenna.
When a DockFromSmall hardpoint doesn't exist, the game uses the top vertex of the opt.

True the Antenna wasn't there on the original opt, plus no matter where you add a "dockfromsmall hardpoint", the craft will always dock centrally on the opt
This is also a big problem with the New Rebel Platform

Just been doing a few tests in skirmish, with the XQ5 and YT2000, I'll have to retract my statement about the craft always docking centrally, this is untrue, I originally placed the hardpoint centrally, but then move it away from centre, the YT2000 docked to where the hardpoint was set
So it seems I can add a dock from small hardpoint where I want, I haven't tested this in the Rescue Uncle Antan mission, so I'll report back when I do that

Another test, seems there is a limitation to where the DockFromSmall hardpoint is placed Y and Z axis's are fine you can move the hardpoint forward/backwards (Y axis) and up/down (Z axis) but setting the X Axis other than 0 the craft will always dock at 0 = X axis.

Tested the Platform in the Rescue Uncle Antan mission the YT200 Docks with the Platform just file now.
I've also updated the installer with the fixed Platform, so please go to the download section and re-download the XQ5 Platform and reinstall.
Also included in the installer are all the latest Hooks by Jérémy Ansel (JérémyaFr) and Justagai as of June 29, 2019.
Please note: The Hook files are only overwritten if the existing file is older than the new file, otherwise installation of the Hook is skipped.
