    Summary: Radar (Deco) collision box is wider than its expected 3x3 voxel boundary and can interfere with docking

    Description:
    If a radar dish is placed where its edge is aligned with a flat surface against which you can dock, the collision box on the radar may prevent the ship from docking flush and potentially latching the landing gear.

    Though this may seem trivial the radar model is currently being used in Reforged as a valuable functional item, so this will be more prevalent on builds.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Load the attached vanilla creative save. It contains a sample ship that is positioned in a way that the radar dish is blocking a docking connection. Just sit in the seat and press C to attempt to dock. You will not be able to without repositioning the ship.

    This image shows how the radar dish is preventing a flush docking in this example:

    This is an example of it preventing a flush docking on my build (this is with the vanilla deco radar):
