WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I decided to leave central passage empty because it looked uncool :p
Feel free to edit and change it as you wish, if you find it unnecessarily inconvenient. It's kinda part of the vibe, I think. The general awkwardness at some places and being easy to customize.
There is no automation or hard to understand systems, even with its gimmick, partially for this reason

It would appear they are there, I retract my statement. Probably shouldn't have emergency tools behind two layers of storage on a ship which can be bricked within mere seconds of a fight if left unfixed though from an ease of use perspective at the very least. There's a decent enough amount of space remaining in the central passage where if the sprite scale is slightly reduced: a supply cabinet can be placed with Welders inside.

PunisherLex, could you elaborate? I thought welding tools were somewhere on the left shelf in the ballast

Looks neat, doesn't spawn with a sub-side welder though.
