Honestly if people want more Belt Hell and MULE use, automate QM.
Having a magic space cannon shoot things to "some guy" who then has to drag, sort and re-distribute it into a second magic space cannon to where it goes is just clunky. People are just always going to bypass that guy.
Put a request console at each belt hell terminus, give HoP, Cap and Chief a pda program to approve / deny requests, and let the crates arrive at the QM office already barcoded for the terminus they were requested from. Crate arrival chute has a shutter to bypass the automatic belt sort, but otherwise it goes right into the router.
Assign the outbound / selling QM duties to Mining, since it's pretty much Minin's only use, and assign router maintenance / manual distro to Engineering.
Make QM a gimmick job of the day if someone wants to play forklift cop.
E: also if you wanna have consoles that are not at a terminus have the MULEbot do that. It's a bot.
E: E: or maybe make the MULE an acceptable AI shell. Nerf the hurt tho.
