Actually I'm not sure. Since the description says that a TL is too big
to dock with stations and that you need to use smaller ships to ferry
your cargo I assumed that you'd be using TS's and that they could dock
with the TL.

A cargo ship too big to dock with anything but a shipyard and unable
to carry smaller cargo ships seems sort of pointless.

Anyone know for sure?
