This one has elevators, bridge windows and airlocks. I also started (but not yet finished) cleaning up the file a bit, renaming unnamed shapes and erasing accidental duplicates (how did that even happen :O).
I also noticed something; if we want to animate the elevators going up and down, the ropes will have to elongate and shorten, because there won't be much room to simply transform them up and down. Animation part is probably possible, but I have no idea if it would create texture artifacts, or what would the best way be to do that.
Another thing is, according to this Wikipedia page, containerized cargo isn't bulk cargo, therefore this ship isn't technically a bulk ship. Granted, this is not an ocean-going ship but a spaceship, and the naming schemes of Haber might be different; but since the design was inspired by maritime vessels of Earth, I want to stay true to the maritime terms as well. I don't want to use the word "bulk" in the name, so I propose "Haber Capital Mover/Carrier" or "Haber Megatransport".
