The second Box Pack that will feature a new box look and lot's of kewl things. Some of them are strange but let's first give everything it's right name and later delete some crap.

Explanation: Purpose: High-Tech goods transportation / Multiplayer trading fun Look: The ages of 2030's, we are between future and past and just a little bit more cyber and punked as today (no offense, I just feel we all are into way too much strange things, what about girls, nature landscapes, philosophy – those are the real things) :tiphat:

Oportunity; This Could be your new cargo mesh (@all), whatever you want to create, let me know if you are interested having some fresh textures on it. If no offers appear, I will continue with the FoodBox a.k.a. UCGO medium size cargo. Each of it will be a more specialized design, unlike the FoodDiversityPack that at the moment only has one design for all 82 items.
---
Conceptual bugs: Some of the list entries below would love to be "opened / used". Theres a cricital collision with the concept of Orbiter "don't implement something that doesn't have a function". So major re-thinking of several cargos is need even this might lead them to be trashed. Another bug is: Some should be only stored on ships that provide fast access (Arrow sure has at least one toilet in every section I guess but the XR2, any toilet included, naahhh, see what I mean)? It would not make sense to transport a toilet with Arrow unless the player wants to built the "crap imperium".

Conceptual cheats: Yes, they exist, now imagine the cargo "relaxation room module". Not looking at the fact that such a cargo should be XL sized we just play with it. What we do now? Easy, we keep the cargo in our ship for at least some couple ingame days. Then we eject the cargo, voila, magic, the relaxation room is now somewhere inside your ship, even you can't see it. But this doesn't work with everything. See for yourself...

Shame on me, diversity made me ill, why must everything be made out of soo many things? The wiseman say: It's all connected. Yes, maybe, but did they consider that a usual human can only keep track of maximum seven things at once. I really would like to donate to the inventor of "lists", whoever he was, great job, helps a lot concluding things. Never mind, please. Inspired over years by: Elite, X3, GalCiv, Eve and other games with item trees or item management. Unfortunately, most Simulations don't have any good item implementation. Orbiter is different, I say it's the best case spot for the diversity thing (e.g. not beeing limited to nothing, simulating the real world).
---
Feel free to help me edit the list, add more items, suggest something. Comments welcome, development welcome, "hey I want this or that" welcome!

Important: To all external idea stealers, shame on you, remember where you saw it first. Theres nothing like Orbiter Space Sim, this idea belongs to the community. Except StarCitizen, that was the one inspired me to think of a toilet cargo, I stealed that idea for Orbiter *strike.
And well if this ever inspires you for another game it's cool but I hope that in case you only feature a couple of those items a "but hey what about this or that diversity request storm" hits you. And btw, unlike others Orbiter can seriously handle a ultra huge item tree (with eveything except beeing just a text sample).
