Hangar

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

Access

The hangar can be entered after a ship successfully docked. The commander is connected with a service-link element of the station or settlement. which shows the option "Enter 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.

Hangar types

The hangar type is determined by the location. For station hangars it depends on the star system's type, economy and population. The Fighter Hangar and Planetary Vehicle Hangar have only 1 type.
