Chris Roberts stated at Gamescom that we will be allowed to choose a hangar variant of our choice. Hangar variants will no longer be tied to the ship package.
Apparently, you only get to choose once but you will be able to purchase additional hangars in game.
The following video shows the hangars available which will be in the 0.9 patch in a couple of weeks. I like them all except the Revel & York (Deluxe). To my eyes it looks too much like a top-end ship showroom than a working hangar. The other three are great. I love the grittiness of the VFG (Asteroid) and the Self-Land (Discount) and the clean lines of the Aeroview (Business). I'd like CIG to give us the opportunity to experience them all before choosing because right now I'm really undecided.
Very nice indeed. Agreed with your summary of them too!

I actually like the look of the Revel & York, I don't intend on getting my hands dirty so I would prefer a clean sleek look. Also I like the flashy lights :D

I like the business and the asteroid is so going to be purchased for my outland bases, but with you Sparko, reminds me of the Mclaren garage through development.
Did anyone actually get an Asteroid hanger? I'm considering getting the upgrade. I love the Revel and York, but it just doesn't feel 'lived-in' enough for me. One problem - the phoenix will look weird in it lol. What do people think of their hangers?
I have one and it's lurvely. :thumbsup:
I've got one, but to be honest, I prefer the R&Y hangar.
I currently have the Self-land and the Business ones (thanks to the herald). I don't recall choosing though as they came with ships. How can I see the asteroid or make a choice?
In 'My Hangar' there is a 'Configuration' button in the hangar section that allows you to set which one to see.

I like the Asteroid Hangar too, but personally i think that $50 for the VFG Hangar is a REALLY bad deal compared to $100 for a Cutlass Black with free VFG Hangar :g:
That's a nice idea Andy. Thanks. I'm just in the process of deciding where I'm going and what I'm doing with hangers and ships. Got the redeemer but I think I'll melt it for the carrack. Was thinking about hangers. Didn't realise the cutlass came with it.

It was a bit of a sore point on the forums, but CIG stuck with it and if you buy a Cutlass you get access to ALL the Hangars as the VFG is considered the top tier..... Upset a few Constelation owners who spent over twice as much on a ship but are expected to pay $50 more for the VFG, but I suspect sold many Cutlasses ;-)
I like my R&Y, those digital walls are nice.
As for spending money on hangars, not going to happen in my case. Will buy them for in-game money, don't see the point of multiple hangars at the start as they mentioned that hangars will decide your start point; especially not with that $50 price. Not to mention the possibility of paying rent for each one.

I won't be buying any either, unless you decide to have multiple characters you'll only have one anyway, buying the VFG doesn't necesarily give you 2 Hangars, it depends how you split your ships/packages/etc later, it just gives you the option to start with the VFG, rent is free on starting hangars also if you backed early enough....
Never seen anything related to no rent in the stretch goals, where did you find the info?

You will be able to rent hangars in different places and store your ships there. Rent will be payable every so often, presumably monthly.
For early backers, hangar fees on the first 'starting' hangar will be waived, allowing some of us to store our ships there for free. Additional hangars will cost us just like anyone else.
I like my industrial hangar. Fits better with the Cutlass and reminds me a bit of Firefly.
I see them all on the Hangar config on the web page but none of my packages include the R&Y and I think that's sweet.
I have to say that I can't understand why I would see a hangar that I don't have access to through a pledge but Constellation owners only see one hangar.
Yep - I have them all too, but don't have anything that directly gives me access to the Industrial hangar. I think there must be some rule that if you have a certain sized ship, you get the hangar most likely to fit it. Or if you've pledged over a certain amount or something.
I'm most interested in the R&Y hangar, but I'm keen to see if it fits an Idris or 890 :D
And yeah, I'm very happy my first hangar fees are free.
I'm put off by the fact that you have to place the hanger somewhere they're going to dictate. If be really happy if the asteroid hanger was in a cliff or something. Love the look and feel of it I'll wait to see what is happening with the carrack yet - see if I have enough left.
I now have the Self Land Hangar as my view of choice, not explored it yet. Also have the Aeroview and Revel & York.
Will be interesting to see where the hangars will be located, as I understand that the luxurious hangars will be in cities and the industrial will be in an asteroid or something along those lines. Hoping starting area won't be too far apart or that it won't matter that much.
If the hangar types vary in location and price. It may be an advantage to pick the most expensive one in the start, or that the organisation pick hangars that are located in close proximity to each other. For now one can only speculate though. If it turns out it doesn't matter, I will stick with the industrial one, as I love the look and feel of it :)

That only shows the ones you have though? I thought you could preview all based on what was said here?
Ah, not sure about that as I can see them all anyway, so it might need someone else's input. Sorry :blush:

I just have the standard Cutlass package, and I can select all 4 hangars on my profile page. Don't know if that means I can pick any of one of them or just preview them.
I only see 3 hangars to view, no Astreroid one so I assume you need to own them to take a look, or go on youtube.
This is what I see
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2909[/ATTACH]
I guess if you own the highest level hangar (industrial), you get to use any of them?
I can select all but the VFG one, and I used to have VFG available for a while some time ago, it's not there anymore though.
Quote from: Justin Tolerable;390949I guess if you own the highest level hangar (industrial), you get to use any of them?
This is it, and also the reason behind the (justified IMO) forum complaining.... The $100 Cutlass gives you access to ALL hangars, i don't really see that as very fair to Connie owners, it would make sense if the VFG/R&Y hangars were priced equally both as top tier but were mutually exclusive to their respective ships i think.... seems odd that a Cutlass for $100 gives you access to the R&Y Hangar but a Connie for $200+ doesn't give you access to the VFG ?
As for Hangar starting positions, it seems from what they've hinted that Self Land will literally be everywhere, Aeroview will also be in every system but probably only at the more upmarket landing zones, R&Y will probably only not be available in fringe systems & VFG will be the opposite, probably only not available close to the centre of high pop/high security systems.... there will be a massive overlap of available locations i'm sure.
The original reason for the Cutlass access to the asteroid hangar was the lore and its pirate background, so it's a bit of an exception. When you backed via both these ships you knew precisely which hangar you were getting. Given that you will be able to access any hangar in game (and before) I personally don't see a problem.

Yeah generally I'd agree, but it's also the lore that makes giving Cutlass owners free access to R&Y that doesn't make sense...
Just seems that every package should get self land + the bonus hangar for that tier of ship, so Hornet gets Selfland & Aeroview, Cutlass gets Selfland & VFG, Connie gets Selfland & R&Y etc, etc....
The thing is most people frustrated over this now are early backers I think, with "free first hangar fees".... So value wise you'd want to pick the best Hangar as your freebie, assuming VFG will cost more than Selfland to rent in game of course, which is why it seems harsh that Cutlass owners get VFG and a $40 upgrade R&Y hangar when Connie owners need to stump up another $50 to get the same access, having already paid double to support the game, just feels like a kick in the teeth...
Not really sure why I'm bothered though as I have access to them all anyway !
