If I've purchased more than one package, each including a hangar (Business and Deluxe), and also purchase an Asteroid hangar, will that translate into at least two hangars when the Persistent Universe comes out?asked by MK

TL;DRUndecided: the current design is one home-base hangar, and whether multiple hangar packages grant multiple hangars hasn't been decided, with Roberts wanting an equitable approach that avoids mass real-estate buying.

Hmm, that's kind of a good question.We were sort of thinking that you would have one home base hangar and then if you wanted to have "forward bases" or whatever, you would rent hangar space on a planet.So I don't know, because currently the design would say no to that, although there could be an argument to say "well I'm got multiple packages so each one should have a hangar and therefore I should be able to place them in different places," but really the concept of the hangar was, we were just giving you a free place to have all your stuff, it wasn't that you would be buying multiple houses around the universe.So I would say, I don't know whether the two hangars... I mean it's a difficult question to ask on the asteroid hangar because that's a very distinct thing, and it's more in a different location than say a business or a deluxe hangar.So I guess my question would be, not my question, my answer would be:We haven't made the decision on that yet, but that is a good point.So I take that off and be thinking about how to make that equitable without having someone buying 20 packages and snapping up a bunch of real-estate that they can put all around the universe. Because that would sort of defeat part of the purpose of getting people to play because actually being able to get a hangar and all the rest of the stuff should take some work to achieve and I don't want everyone to suddenly be 100% fully set up.So it's a good question, I will think about that, but I don't have a good answer for you right now. But you brought it up, so that's already a victory.
