Sending objects between space platforms

If instead you could transfer between ships then you could have say a Vulcans and gleba dedicated ship which has requests for the other, but both only travel to Nauvis and could serve as a ...

Promethium science packs used to spoil, it's unlikely it comes back, nor on the chunks themselves imo.



Fast, immediate-to-science ships are already more efficient than belt storage ships for 10k+ SPM. At this scale (5000+ tons), ship weight becomes the limiting factor of speed. Belt ...

Allow us to block/allow silos from sending specific items to space via circuits

... swing by and grab ALL the red chips

Why?
It would vastly increase how much control we have over resource management, especially on Fulgora where resource inputs aren't deterministic, but without breaking the immersion of "how do the ships wirelessly know not to request this item right now?"

Guess how far new rocket turret will reach:
