What a weird looking penis...Well, my first one doesn't look much better. It's even still in use between Nauvis and Vulcanus. I'm just too lazy to upgrade it to a newer design.
You can, though this design doesn't seem to be doing so. I'm betting it becomes the meta solution for it. Belt buffering doesn't store enough I don't feel, but you can store far more than you'll need in cargo, and you can remove it when required.
My ship is more spaced out and has twice the power, yet barely survived the trip to Vulcanus, only to be met with a blank screen because apparently your character needs to physically be on the spaceship.
After filling up the turrets I start storing a couple of stacks of ammo in the ships inventory. Dumping that into the distribution system during flight makes things a little easier.
