I need to define that a little better. It sounds wrong.
What I meant was that your shuttle should be oriented toward the axis of rotation, as you slide sideways along the circumference of the Thrust Ring. The capture protocol results in a bit of a lurch, as the landing gear get snagged like a softball being caught in a catcher's mitt.
It sounds a bit awkward, but it has worked well enough, and it preserves the landing gear for a rolling stop on an actual planet, (such as one of our double-secret, zip-your-lips-and-never-say-anything trade missions to Earth).

The Chandeliers illuminating the landing area was a nice touch.
