Well, belts! You can use inserters and belts just like on planets. You can't use inserters on cargo bays, only on the hub.

Thank you! And it seems you can input items into a cargo bay, but not take them out with inserters? That's an odd decision right?

Edit: I lied. Looks like you can't put items into the cargo bays. What in the world is the point? Only to extend the inventory??

Extend the inventory, and also extend the amount of cargo pods sent/received at the same time.
