Forgot to show the advanced rotor settings. Turned torque off (set to zero), increased brake torque to 1 mega-newton.

Principle is simple, and can be setup at any station with a supply of H2.
Instead of a connector, place an advanced rotor. Grind head off. On snow speeder, grind off the speaker, and replace with the new small advanced rotor head part. NOTE: MUST BE ADVANCED ROTOR TO REFUEL H2.

Next, setup a timer block to command the large advanced rotor to attach, followed by setting the timer block to trigger itself. This is the simple refresh loop trick.

Now, setup a sensor atop the rotor. Minimize its detection area to save power, and set to only detect small grids... preferably exclude enemies, lol.
Set the first action (entering sensor field) to trigger the refueling timer. Make the second action (leaving the sensor field) force the timer block on. This is needed for the next part so the refueling port will always activate when approached, but not attempt an immediate reattachment when you're done.

Next part is to setup a button panel. I chose the 3 button panel. I made the bottom button (button 3) turn off the timer block. This prevents reattachment when pulling away. The top button (button 1) is set to command the advanced rotor to detach.

So you just approach the rotor, it auto-attaches, then you can set your H2 tank to stockpile (forces H2 tank to refill/pull fuel), and recharge batteries if needed. When you're satisfied, get off the speeder, press bottom button, then top button, get back on, and drive away.

Easy-peasy.
