Simplest way: count air/vacuum blocks and exclude them from radius cubed. To discourage moving large chunks of land into the sky.

Nice idea, what about chest contents? A gold-chest full of iron-block stacks should weigh almost as much as the chunk you are trying to move...

I personally have no issues with that, but ok 😄

Sounds like it would take too much CPU for some ships. Unless you add caching of every ship container "mass". Which is just smearing that CPU load over time and database.
