We have seen the tractor beam able to pull off components. Is there going to be a way to place them into station inventory so we can actually use them? On the same line, if we cannot pull components out of inventory, how are we going to change the mining equipment?asked by Overseer0513

I think we answered that already.

Yes, exactly. So the cargo elevator, the hangar cargo elevator, is going to offer this functionality. You'll be able to pull any item that you have in that station into that hangar through the cargo elevator, then put it wherever you want on your ship, equip it. And it also works the other way around, where you pull from your ship, put it on the cargo elevator, it goes into the station. And one other thing you'll be able to pull with that is vehicles. So you'll be able to say, well, I want the Ballista on my ship. You pull it with the cargo elevator, it comes on the cargo elevator, you drive it up into your ship and take off.

Moving towards physicalizing as many aspects of the game as possible, basically.

Yeah, no more magical teleporting of inventory.
