Why are repackaged items the same volume as unpackaged items? I propose a 10% reduction in volume for all items upon repackaging. It's hardly a novel idea, ships enjoy a huge volume reduction on packaging.

It depends on what is being repackaged.
A ship contains a lot of empty space inside of it, therefore they would be smaller when repackaged.
A cargo container should be tiny when repackaged.
A weapon is usually much larger when repackaged vs when it is assembled for safety of storage reasons.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Fully supported and often wondered this myself.

Cargo Containers are now very much smaller when repackaged thank god.
