Hangar
More actions
Hangars are instanced locations where any player can access an ASOP terminal and a freight elevator to retrieve, store or customize their ships and vehicles. Players need to be within a group to enter each others hangar.[1]
Hangar services
At one end of small, medium, large hangars, and at both ends of extra large hangars are hangar services that provide access to the hangars ASOP terminal and two storage access kiosks, as well as the exit and entry elevators.
Hangar types
Personal hangars
Personal hangars, also known as persistent hangars, are only available at the players home residence chosen at character creation. Personal hangars can be decorated and furnished, any customization inside a personal hangar is saved to Long Term Persistence[citation needed].
Public hangars
Hangars that are not at the players home residence are a public hangar that allow for the same functionality but can not be customized.[2]
If the player attempts to spawn a ship that exceeds the size of their personal hangar an appropriate public hangar will be assigned.[1]
Ship hangars
Some ships possess their own hangars, capable of holding other ships (often called parasite craft). Unlike their full sized counterparts these do not provide access to an ASOP terminal or storage access kiosks and aren't instanced. As of Alpha 4.5.0 they also don't provide rearming, refuelling, and repairing services.
The table below lists all ships currently in-game that have internal hangars and their sizes.

Trivia
The word hangar comes from Middle French hanghart ("enclosure near a house"), of Germanic origin, from Frankish *haimgard ("home-enclosure", "fence around a group of houses"), from *haim ("home, village, hamlet") and gard ("yard"). The term, gard, comes from the Old Norse garðr ("enclosure, garden").
