Data storage based on data size

[Grover]

I know its probably been suggested a good few times already, but i couldn't find a thread discussing it specifically.

I believe it would make missions more interesting if the maximum amount of reports stored on a vessel was not simply based on not allowing duplicates, but otherwise allowing infinite data storage on any pod, but rather the ScienceContainer module was reworked to factor in storage capacity, allowing any combination of reports to be collected, up to a limit on data size (using the game's already present data size values)

does anybody have any thoughts? i read somewhere that one of the SAS modules may be reworked into a part for this purpose due to its aesthetics and current lack of use
