Suggestion: Refuel ship from hydrogen bottles
Not Enough Votes
I want to be able to refuel hydrogen tanks using hydrogen bottles. I don't want to have to need to build an O2H2 generator every time I build a new ship, then supply it with ice. Usually you need just a little bit of fuel to align a ship to a connector and refuel it from your base.
Some worlds don't start with ice, so refueling ships using hydrogen bottles gives you some flexibility when building new ships.

What I would love is to have a "bottle tank" block which would have cargo space for a single bottle, and if bottle is present, it would act as oxygen/hydrogen tank using the contents of the bottle (both input and output). If the small block version was only 2 blocks large (to physically contain a bottle), it would be in addition also a very small oxygen tank for crafts that don't need 3x3x2 tank but could use some onboard oxygen.

alternatively could use pre-existing H2 and O2 tank block, but have an option to consider any bottles inside them as active hydrogen storage to pull from or to just reverse the tank > bottle transfer process. this would be especially nice considering SE2 has power cells that accomplish manual refueling already, so a hydrogen equivalent feels deserved and adds extra flexibility in hydrogen or hybrid powered vehicles being able to be jump-started by bottles
