Magnetic ports

A magnetic port is a mechanical piece affixed to an opening specifically designed to receive cargo unassisted. These can be from the hulls of ships to a weapons magazine well. 
Magnetic ports drastically quicken the operation of loading and unloading cargo off of vehicles without the need for personnel. 
== Usage ==
Magnetic ports are particularly important in live combat situations where reloading can spell victory or defeat. Magnetic causes the clip of a weapon to automatically enter the magazine well.
In civilian usage, magnetic ports simply remove the hassle of connecting the entrance of a supply depot to the supplying carrier. 
Magnetic ports are also useful in hazardous situations of refueling ships in craft where risking personnel to refuel the craft is dangerous. 
=== Resupply depots ===
Resupply depots have many magnetic ports to facilitate refueling, resupply of crafts and the reloading of weapons without the need for personnel
=== Civilian usage ===
In civilian contexts, gas stations, shops, markets and other consumer industries often use magnetic ports to supply themselves quickly.
=== Criticism ===
Magnetic ports are energy intensive machines and are not built for extended usage. This causes most of them to break down after a dozen or so uses. This default causes the military to replace them every time the magnetic port is used in live combat situations. 
It is also not uncommon for magnetic ports to damage the receiving end of the cargo due to sudden unpredictable acceleration.
