six large ports on small grid large container?

[Storm]

The design flaw in these is obvious. Having the central large storage be..well, central, would make a huge improvement in small ship design possibilities. You could actually have the large container in the middle with out wrangling the small ports best possible, but always ultimately isn't what you really want. I WANT the container to work like the large grid one.

Pretty please with sugar on it.

I had a similar thought when I started playing the game. I also wanted a refinery block with an access port over one block.

Then I realized they will never implement this, and it is up to the player to engineer around problems like this. Its the engineering part of Space Engineers.

i posted something in that direction in the workshop subforum:
I would like a "medium size cargo container / small grid"
with 3 large conveyor ports and 1 small conveyor.. and/or 3 small 1 large.
So you could actually use the medium cargo on two cockpit wide transporters,
without wasting two cargo container slots for 2x the small grid conveyor,
with 4 large conveyor ports but without cargo capacity.

I dont like having to shuffle sides because the larger parts cant be pushed/pulled into the other side. For Cockpits it doesnt matter if its only small parts/oxygen/hydrogen,
but for the medium cargo this means two slots wasted for "interconnect conveyors"
or two docking ports at the back

Or a "small grid large cargo container" that is 4x medium cargo large
but only 2x medium cargo deep, 2x medium cargo broad and 1x medium cargo high,
with 4 large conveyor slots and 4 small ports all on the same plane..

need to check workshop again for cargo mods..
