Placeable/movable cargo crates

In order to enhance the hauling contracts with NPCs, it would make sense for players to be able to move the small cargo crates/barrels from one grid to another.

The crates should attach to the grid using the existing UI for placing blocks.

There is the need to build the pick up and place interaction system for caracter but I am sure Keen can do it easily.

To avoid this being an exploit, at pickup, each crate contains specific ammount of ore/components/ammo that has to match when you drop off the crates. This will ensure that players will load up the crates and not just place some empty crates at the destination.


Let me give you a scenario:

Go to contract terminal, pick a hauling contract and then on one of the ports/landing pads the crates will spawn. You then load up the crates in the ship, fly to your destination and unload the crates in the designated area of the landing pad or spaceport. You then go to the contract terminal which will identify the crates and job done.

This will fiurther incentivize players to build specific cargo hauling ships with space to attach crates inside or on the outside. Not only that, but players can use the crates to transport stuff from one grid to another without connection.
