In the PU, if I choose one of the planetside hangars can I leave the hangar and visit shops and pubs on the planet? If so, what if I choose the Asteroid Hangar? Will I have to fly with one of my ships to a planet or will there be some sort of shuttle service?asked by Sicus
TL;DRA planetside or large asteroid hangar should let you reach local shops and pubs, but there'd be no shuttle service to places elsewhere, so you'd need to fly your own ship there.
The idea of the hangar that you have is you can leave it to go to shops and pubs or whatever else on that planet, which also means if you have an asteroid hangar and it's a rather large asteroid, perhaps with some shops/stores and a bustling pirate community you could do the same. But it'd all be connected to the hangar. There wouldn't necessarily be a shuttle service. If the shops that you wanted weren't on the planet/asteroid that your hangar is on you'd have to get in your ship and fly to them specifically and land there to access those places. There will be some level of public transportation between planets, you'll probably book passage on say a star cruiser, but I can't promise that a lot of that would be going between say a pirate outfit and a regular UEE controlled planet, because that doesn't make much sense, but that's kinda how that'll work.
