[[AC: Tabletop Games]]
* Current ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'':
** Universal adapter: If two ships have incompatible airlocks they can extend plastic tubes that adapt to each other.
** Docking bay: Many ships have what are basically slots that shuttles or modular cutters fit into.
* ''TabletopGame/HcSvntDracones'': Most large and capital-sized ships have drone bays that can accommodate {{Attack Drone}}s, flimsy shuttles that can't enter atmosphere but are useful for transfers between ships or stations (which capital ships are too big to dock with), or boarding pods.  Ships of medium size and larger can be fitted with Landing Bays that can carry small ships.
* In ''TabletopGame/MyriadSong'' a lot of smaller starships hitch onto the exteriors of massive "cavalcades" to make interstellar trips.

[[AC: Video Games]]
* In the ''Franchise/StarFox'' series Arwings launch from a bay on the Great Fox's lower bow area.  There's a short landing ramp on the back of the ship.
* ''VideoGame/{{Homeworld}}'' the Mothership and equivalent ships have a large bay from which smaller craft are launched, apparently right after being manufactured.  And where resource-gatherers return to drop off their loads and all the ships rush back in before a hyperspace jump.
