Modify the Cargo Shuttle and ATS.

[Mike32oz]

Description

Howdy Folks, I've made a few modifications to the cargo shuttle and the automated Trading station (ATS). First, I added two more seats to the shuttle. I also added some tools, including a wrench and a crowbar. I also provided proper air distribution throughout the shuttle. I removed the plastic airtight flats because the blast door opens, but can't be closed. The same goes for the ATS. Finally, I added a station anchor, a clean bot to the ATS, and a couple of lockers. The place doesn't get dirty or drift away.

My chief and only complaint about this is the room for the station anchor. It should neither have a Hostile space mob in it(on principle, its an area that'll never interact with players normally, and nor should it be inaccessible. You should probably add a spacewalk access to it, since it has consoles, and is therefore a place that needs to be enterable by whoever 3rd party is offscreen maintaining the ATS.

Outside of that, I recommend you also look at using some of the N14 mapping assets we've ported to help "detail clutter" the place. Take a look at Saltern for ideas. It can have things like stacks of wooden pallets, paper scattered under desks, etc. Same deal with the cargo shuttle. Bonus points if you use this to subtly make the layout of the shuttle not perfectly symmetrical, such as putting a stack of wooden pallets in the back right of the shuttle.

I will work on this on Thursday and I'll check your suggestion on the n14 assets
