You can just connect the ships vertically. I gave more than enough clearance for this.

I have only one complaint with this ship, but it also applies to many ships under the LIM banner.

The docking connectors.

The docking connectors on LIM ships, the Jotunn included, are incredibly obtuse, because of where they are placed in conjunction with other ships of the LIM brand, makes docking with some ships and/or stations either difficult or outright impossible without modifications. This is despite the fact that LIM ships share a docking architecture, that being a center door flanked on both sides by two connector blocks.

I had to modify my Jotunn's docking connectors to be able to dock with another LIM ship, that being the Juno Tradeship I refitted to act as a gunship. The two ships cannot dock properly because the Juno's edges overlap with the Jotunn's, even with most of the Juno's extra panels having been removed in my refit.

Another instance where the docking connectors gave me trouble was the Gallant Class Battlecruiser not being able to dock with one of the stations because the ship was just too long, but only by a little, prompting me to extend the docking arms of the station to fit it.

I really like these ships. They are a go-to for me and I subscribe to them almost as soon as they pop up on the workshop, but, with all due respect, the docking connectors may need a bit of work in the future to ensure compatibility.

And thanks for all the hard work.

(P.S. Posting in two parts, so the first part of this comment will be the second cpmment posted)

Awesome, yeah forgot you already did that when I posted, says it right in the description, apparently when you read you learn, who wouldve thought! Thanks for the reply, excited to see whats in store!

My stations are already compatible to dock with it, and I've got planetary stuff in my plans but I can't start on them yet.

Well, planetary ones specifically, forgot about the blackburn xD mb

Very nice, probably one of my favorite collections on the workshop, thanks for uploading! Do you think you could design some planetary/space bases compatible with the docking ports on the ships sometime in the future?

Oversized radar bits, unconventional bridge location, and expanse-style engine layout? This gets my fox of approval!

I actually was going to build a Donnager-type ship, but ended up going way too small. So I just built a planetary assault ship instead :p

serious Donnager vibes! Baddass!
