[SA] Move space platform hub info above its contents

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
Hub-like entities should have important info displayed before content

What?
Space platform hub and Landing pad should have the following info be displayed before storage and/or filters:
  • Storage
  • Input hatches
  • Output hatches
  • (Optionally) Health
  • (Optionally) Last user
Why?
Unlike chests which usually contain either single item type, or small amounts of different items, space platform hubs' and landing pads' inventory size is massive - especially if you use quality cargo bays. Thus, more important data becomes basically unreadable even if you both reduce UI size, disable minimap, and remove all map pins (alternatively - make it appear as a floating text). Screenshots below are on 100% UI size on FullHD display.
