I think it'd be pretty cool, although maybe it's more of something to add later down the line, rather than right now.

It seems like a lot of designs for them have long strips of open wall. This, for example, is a pretty good picture. If it had a strip or two along the entire length, it'd be pretty easy for ships to get in, rather than needing to go all the way around to the ends, or fuck with turbo lifts. Or perhaps some might have strips and some might only have endholes, for variety.

Landing would definitely still be a challenge if it actually rotates, but given that gravity drive technology is a thing, it might not have to rotate at all.

The REAL question is, when are we going to get dyson spheres?  :)
