Reproduction Steps
------------------
1) Spawn Anvil Asgard
2) Manually attempt to fully load cargo (issue becomes especially obvious with 4 SCU boxes)
3) Notice significant loading problems for the left- and rightmost last 2 rows towards the ladder
What happened
-------------
For boxes that would go on the top left or the top right on the ladder/cockpit side (impacting the last 2 rows), the ship geometry actually interferes with loading for the top row, resulting in loading becoming excessively difficult, to the point of being nearly impossible for those boxes as the cargo hold geometry severely restricts box movement and blocks correct placement.
What should have happened
-------------------------
Ship geometry should not restrict full use of the cargo grid. This extra geometry should be removed to allow for proper loading. Alternatively (preferred, width permitting) the grid could be changed to 6x8x4 and moved a bit towards the ramp, then ending before said geometry. This would also be a more efficient layout.
Workaround
----------
Spending way too long and loading in a very specific order/pattern to "snap-cheat-bypass" the geometry from the inside out. Though this then tends to restrict use of 2 SCU in the top center row instead.
