So glad you asked! I took some quick measurements from the TM and ran them through a calculator linked from Atomic Rockets and came up with the following values. These illustrate another problem with spin gravity: there is a gradient of the force felt as one moves farther from the axis of spin. Assuming my measurements are basically accurate and assuming we're shooting for a target of 1G experienced on the "ground floor" at the center of each bay, then here are the numbers:
Bay Floor (800m from spin axis) = 1G
Outer hull of station (900m from spin axis) = 1.125G
"Top" of docking globes (1000m from spin axis) = 1.25G
"Bottom" of Docks (1300m from spin axis) = 1.625 G
The whole assembly would need to be spinning at a rate of a tiny fraction over one rotation a minute. This would give the docking bay doors a tangential velocity of 138.4 meters per second. In other words, you'd need to fly your possibly crippled ship into a hole just big enough for it that is moving across your axis of flight at nearly 310 mph.
Yeah, I think electrically generated artificial gravity is definitely the way to go here.
