Would some of the third party addons for the spindle accommodate cargo not in a container? For example, I'd like to use a Hull C to carry salvage transferred directly from a Reclaimer in space without needing to wait for the Reclaimer to land/dock every time its hold is full.

A case like this would require a special container that can open during flight; we're working on developing exactly this, both for ore transfers on the smaller ships and so that fighter scan be stored and constructed from parts on the larger models (E and possibly D.)
