Add full block conveyor air vents!
Hello again! An ongoing issue I'm having is trying to make airtight interiors that look good, and I cannot stress enough how much the Conveyor Air Vent mod has helped me with that. Having vents that allow me to attach non-airtight blocks directly to their fronts to cover them up makes the interior look nice and saves a ton of space, and failing that it allows me to use them inline with floors or ceilings.
Additionally, it's great to be able to hook more conveyor tubes off it to continue my network, saving additional space. I don't want to make a habit of suggesting direct additions of mods to the vanilla game, but the blocks added by this mod seem to fit the game's aesthetic already and open up a lot more options.
Some screenshots, as examples:
An inline floor vent, with a conveyor directly underneath that runs from the front to the back of the ship. With a regular air vent I would need something over the top of it, which would also need to be connected to blocks either side to keeps it secure, precluding the use of lights here. It saves blocks!
A hidden air vent in my ship's reactor access, which also allows a pass-through to a turret on the dorsal hull section above.
Another air vent, hidden beneath the console block!

one of the things that the normal air vents do is allow for compact spaces to be pressurized, its a half a block, so you can put it to the side, and squeeze past it, put one of the old windows in front of it to conceal it, or better yet, make a ventilation system, you could also add doors to allow for bulk heading to keep the entire ship from losing pressurization should one room lose it
yes you lose a lot of easy and hidden ways to make things look sleek, but the game is about engineering and industrial design, not about modern, rounded, alien-looking designs... kinda like how Minecraft just sticks with blocks and mainly just blocks

There's a Mod for this. Includes a slope.
