And then is there anything [in the new hangar patch] that you might be able to interact with?

TL;DRThe hangar gets a firing range for testing a few weapons on targets, with more added as effects, animation and sound come online; a room system, with the asteroid hangar first, is expected sometime in the new year.

Just a little thing. We're calling it the firing range. So basically you'll be able to plop a weapon down on it and test it out. A few targets there in the hangar that you can blast away at. It will be limited for this initial release. There's only going to be a few weapons, but as we get effects and animation and sound online, we'll patch those in as we go.

Yeah, and we might even move that to its own room at some point. We don't have the room system in there yet that's going to allow us to expand the hangar out. Right now it basically expands in one direction.

Cramming everything in there right now.

Eventually the hangar will be just a hangar, and we can move everything out. We'll put room systems attached to it and stuff like that. So that is coming. And I believe the first iteration of that is going to be the asteroid hangar, which will kind of ship in the new year sometime.

Yes. But we are going to be putting that into the room system, which will then allow PBR and other things that will go in there. So the asteroid hangar will be the first iteration of that.
