Wiring on gas storage has been fixed. The "dead weight" isn;t actually the outer parts, its the inner parts. The wasted space is 100% intentional, because if youre nearby a singularity bad things happen. Working on increasing power for a 5x5 should be way nicer with these changes because you have the wings towards the bottom of inner engineering to place down pipes without having to deal with emp + radiation + being pulled. The lower sides are ideal for pipe placement for thermal printers, you have to get a bit creative with it, but it 100% works. The constructing new rad collectors is intentional, its designed to add a barrier to making a bigulo on manta. NT doesnt intend you to bigulo afterall. A minor barrier at that, multiple collectors will be built for any semi competent bigulo. Personally I dont see the suit storage having more then one person in it at a time, I barely see people go in there as is. I dont see the worry for being stranded on manta too much because the ship is moving 99% of the time, so good luck getting back on ship if you fall out. If you get stranded most of the you end up in the trench guaranteed. Making it take 20 more seconds to get the another set of airlocks shouldnt really change much.
