Engineers whos the engineer that works on cargo racks?

Who engineers cargo racks? No one. Who will we get? Probably someone behind a permit wall or out in Colonia (that would be reasonable)

What kind of engineering?
How about:
Heavy Duty racks (1/2 cargo capacity but the cargo cannot be lost due to cargo hatch breach or limpets) - no power requirements, but variable effects could include added mass based on the grade of mod. Grade 1 = mass increase equal to the lost capacity up to grade 5 = no mass increase. random susceptibility to corrosive or thermal attacks. etc.

Shielded racks (1/2 cargo capacity, but the ship's contents cannot be scanned by means of a manifest scanner). Adds a power requirement, variable based on class of mod (highest with class 1, lowest with class 5 but not zero). Add a thermal load variable in the same manner. Susceptible to disruptive attacks.

Lightweight Racks (110-150% capacity increase in capacity of cargo rack minimum 1 ton increase), increased susceptibility to loss of cargo from broken hatch/limpets, reduces ship handling, increased thermal and corrosive damage. Penetrating shots might destroy cargo even if hatch intact (converts to scrap or biowaste).
