You, my good person, are a genius for making this work!! I'm kicking myself for not thinking the same thing.
It's worth it to retrofit stations/ships to hold this storage ship. Since copy/paste or saving a template (hint hint developers!!!) does not keep display text or storage filters, it's a blast of pure insight!
I like to try out new ships/stations whenever possible. But I loath to reset storage filters. It's just a pain to do.
Oh, one other thing. I tried to create it in the new shipyard system, but it broke all the filters & text. It keeps them only when I used a blueprint.
Once again, you are awesome for making this. Thank you.
