I have recently bought a ship bundle pack (Combo War Pack), but unfortunately I discovered that I can only use 5 hangar bays, so I can't have all my ships out at once, even close to all of them. Will the hangars be able to be made bigger in time, or will renting extra hangar space be an in game feature?asked by Elwood Short

Longer-term absolutely being able to rent and get bigger hangar space will be something that we will have as a game feature. Also, I think, depending on how you play, you may actually want to have some of your ships in various areas around the universe, depending, I mean, obviously, we just have the Stanton system, there isn't as much need for that as possible.But as you can already see, there's different kinds of gameplay based on different kinds of ships, so like Hornet is great for dogfighting but it's really- well it can't carry cargo, so you may need a cargo ship – Starfarer or a Hull C or a D, you may also want to go and do a mercenary mission and that may even mean that you want to take a Hornet or something like that with it. So the idea- maybe there's some missions or adventures that you want to do on one side of the known UEE universe and maybe there's some stuff you want to do over here.I could definitely see at the point where you've acquired a fair amount of wealth in the game and a fair amount of ships that you may actually have – just like rich people in the world do now, they have houses in different cities – I think you could potentially own hangars in different planets with some of the ships you have, so depending on where you are you'll always have somewhere you can go quickly to switch out a ship – because you're only going to ever be able to switch your ships based on where they are in the hangar. So if I am operating seven systems away from my homebase and I've got twenty ships in my home hangar and I want to change out one of my ships, I have to go all the way back to my homebase, or have someone fly it out to me just to change out that ship, so a lot of times, I would think if you said "oh, I'm going to operating in this system and do some trading here", you may want to have a sort of almost "forward operating base" that you would have some of your ships in.I definitely think you'll be able to rent stuff and have more- and customize your hangar too, so in the persistent stuff that we're doing, that we are going to start to roll out, you are going to be able to customize your hangar in terms of place where your flair is. And eventually sort of expand it out and buy some extra space or some extra rooms and do all that, and the only caveat that would have is potentially a sort of rendering caveat. So at some point if you had seventy ships and you wanted to see them all on one long run, that's probably more than we could render at once, which is one of the reasons why we had limited hangars to a certain extent and then you could pick which ships you could have in the hangars, just essentially to not have the machine go to five frames-per-second.Now, we're optimizing things, so that will definitely be bigger but probably- there's not likely to be a case where you would have this sort-of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" hangar that goes as far as you can possibly see with as many ships as you can see. But I will promise that we will try to get as many ships in as we can, so ultimately I think it will move towards something that you would like, although I'm not sure it could have every single ship in it... but, it potentially will. Of course, the hangars won't be able to have very biggest ships in because they'll have to stay in orbit. But anyway, there you go. Not sure if that answer helped you out that much, but that's kind of what the plan is.
