they made some more changes to the hangar module from the last time I loaded it up (which was admittedly a couple weeks ago):
If you go to your hangar page on the website, there's now a button underneath your currently selected (more on this later) hangar that says "configuration."
No ships will load in your hangar unless you tell them to via this button on the website. You now can tell the hangar module what ships you want to load in and select which hangar you want to be in!
On the configuration page, at the top you can select which hangar (of the ones you own I think) you want to see when you load up the game. I can get all of them right now, although I'm not sure why because I never technically owned the old deluxe hangar. It might be you can just use all of them, someone else who only has a ship or 2 and didn't have some of the other ones test it out. They've also renamed all of the hangars:
-old basic hangar is now replaced by the "Selfland Hangar"
-old business hangar is now replaced by the "Aeroview Hangar"
-old deluxe hangar is now replaced by the "Revel and York Hangar"
-old asteroid hangar is now the "VFG Industrial Hangar"
It looks like they changed a lot in the hangars from the last time I saw them, except for the asteroid hangar, which is the same as I remember it:
-The Selfland Hangar looks brighter and less like the back room garage than the old basic hangar did from what I remember. I never really got to play around in the old basic hangar, so someone else might be able to see more differences. Given what the other hangars look like though, I'm guessing it's much more different than I'm leading on. EDIT: This hangar also has the voiceovers described below.
-The Aeroview Hangar is less "white" everywhere than the old business hangar, but similar in design with a new color scheme, plus has some voiceovers that make it feel like it's a real starport, saying things like "refueling needed in hangar 3" and stuff like that. There's more catwalks and elevators as well, and you start on the other side of the hangar than what you used to.
-The Revel and York Hangar is completely different from the old deluxe hangar. It's very similar to the Aeroview, with the stardock voiceovers and whatnot, but it's more sectioned off than Aeroview and has more luxury stuff like hardwood floors in some areas. Not as nice as the old deluxe hangar imo, but it's both brighter and imo nicer than the Aeroview.
-The VFG Industrial Hangar is about the same as I remember the old asteroid hangar, I couldn't spot any differences.
-While I haven't really looked for it, I didn't see the gun chair thing anywhere. They also removed the jumps and crate stacks for the buggy
, but it's definitely more optimized to run better since there's less stuff loading in the hangars now.
Also now,
no ships load in by default. You can no longer see the trainer ships from arena commander, and each hangar has a landing bay configuration. Your ships are listed on the left side of the configuration screen, and the bays are on the right. You can drag and drop ships into each landing bay up to the size limit for each landing bay, which is listed in the top right above each bay with the letters S, M, and L (small, medium, large). Each ship has a corresponding size letter in its tile as well. Also related, it looks like they changed the color scheme on the 325a so it's mostly white instead of black now, which I'm not a huge fan of. I loved the old color scheme
.
There's no way to do this in game, you have to do it from the website, save the configuration, and then reload the client to see any of this. But imo with the exception of the removal of the old deluxe hangar (which despite being a bit dark I liked), all of them are a lot nicer than what they used to be.
Might play around with making some more vids again to show off some of the new hangars this weekend if I have some time to do so.
