A thought for the vehicle designer.
The ordnance menu for vehicles is quite slick and intuitive to use. It sits oddly with the cargo/fuel system: physically dropping a crate of stuff into a nearby seat. I like the tangibility of that system: no reason to get rid of it. But when we update vehicles, could they also have tabs for cargo holds and fuel cells the way ships do, volume allocated in the designer? It would be nice for a dropship or an APC to carry a good and well-organized table of equipment for its attached squad. Boats especially need this, I think.
Would go nicely with my deployable defences idea, too. Easy for trucks and shuttles to move stuff between sites.
