You are correct, sir... yes.

CONREPs were not fun due to entire operation was man-powered.

"Johnson got hit with the Monkey's fist, sir."

"Ten points to the supply ship. Make a note."

CONREPs these days are not man-powered... at least for the conveyor bit.  Hauling in the span-wire (high-tension load bearing wire-rope that connects the ships) is still done by hand.
However, us GMs still have fun seeing who on the UNREP ship is dumb enough to hang out in the open once we're cleared to fire our shot-lines.  (^_^)
