As title suggests, you should be able to place assembled containers inside other assembled containers.
You advertise sandbox yet you add these artificial restrictions/rails called "celestial" or something.

ontop of that, there should be extremely rare containers that have additional properties which essentially allow a ship to carry more . For example a crate that weighs 1,000 m3, but due to special enhancements can actually hold 1,200 m3 cargo. (allowing your ship to hold 200 more).

...

Perhaps you are unaware of the actual nature of the containers in question? Namely, that existing containers ALREADY allow you to hold more than their size inside them. That's WHY you can't stick a container inside a container, it's already a weird magic box that somehow is bigger on the inside than the outside, and that kind of nondimensional space has a well-established tendency to do terrible things when put inside another space of the same kind.

You cant put a TARDIS inside another TARDIS without some bad timey wimey space stuff happening.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Not supported.

Apart from the fact that many containers already hold more than there actual volume (reverse engineered Gallifreyan tech for the win) this would be exploited massively.

Plus blowing holes in space time while a bit of a giggle and probably not specifically restricted in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is I'm fairly sure against the spirit of the Act.

First of all you realize that containers which hold more than their volume already do exist, and yes I do call them bigger on the inside. Look up Giant Secure Container (GSC).

Second, you realize that if you could put a GSC inside a GSC then a single blockade runner could hold an unlimited amount of <900 m^3 items right? You realize that's game breaking right?

Maybe could CCP add a feature that makes your ship explode when you try to make a containerception?
So that there is no artificial restrictions, just consequences.

And if they finally make ship explosions damage the ships around the victim (a good counter to the ever-growing natural blobbing tendancy of players), you could even make a creative way to suicide your ship! With cargo containers! How awesome is that??

You can't put a Tardis inside a Tardis!

actually apparently you can, but you end up with a place you cant leave . . .
