Ah, no sorry, always seems to be serenity herself people focus on (i' love to find some good references to the alliance crusiers - not the ones from the movie, but the original ones in th series that look like flying city blocks, I thought they were great!)

I don't have access to my DVDs of firefly, but purely off memory, I don't think we ever get a real good look at the belly of one of those gunships.

We see them breifly docked upside down to the belly of the Dortmunster (spelling?) as they power up when serenity is detected stealing from the hulk in the start of the pilot.

I believe one is seen landing in the Ariel (hospital theft) episode, a couple also land in the garden in the Trash episode, and one pursues the serenity in the Message episode (with the friend pretending to be dead) but I don't think we ever get to see their docking collar.

Likewise the Raptors in BSG are supposed to hace a docking collar of some sorts on their belly - see the episode when there is a coup against Roslin, and a group of raptors with marines attach to the outer hull - but when ever a raptor flys over head, there does not seem to be any sign of a door in the raptor's floor, sorry not much help!

Cheers.
