Are ships with external storage, i.e. the Aurora MR, supported with the 3.0 cargo system?

TL;DRThey hope to support externally stored cargo like the Aurora MR, but an object container hookup problem is still being investigated, so it isn't working yet and may or may not make 3.0.

We hope to. Technical issue that I'm sure Mark Abent is going to be thrilled to look at very soon about object containers. If you saw the Bugsmashers being inside the coordinate system inside a ship, once you've got that threshold correct, then you can put cargo down and it's fine. If you're outside the ship, you're not inside the object container. You're using essentially the planet or the space or whatever that coordinate system is. We've got a hookup problem that is being investigated at the moment. We hope to get it sorted, but we've got the internal ships in with grids working and now we're looking at the externally stored stuff. We hope to, but it's not there yet.

I mean, we're going to get it sorted. There's no doubt that it will get fixed. It's just a question of whether it's going to make 3.0 or not.
