Hangars are used to store ships and vehicles. Some services are only available while inside a hangar.

By selecting this it transfers the ship inside the internal hangar. To exit a hangar simply select Launch. The station grants permission to exit and undock. The docking clamps are disabled and the ship is released. Large settlements have hangars for SRVs.

Services

Some services are only available if your ship is inside a hangar.

When the ship is inside the hangar you can disembark to walk around to inspect the ship or towards to Express Lift which lead to the Concourse. Each station type has a different hangar interior: Standard/Industrial, Wealthy/Service, Tourism, Refinery/Extraction, High Tech, and Agriculture.
