Are we going to have more room to park ships and vehicles on the sides of our hangars? [...] Are there any plans to add side rooms to players persistent hangars for things such as habs, firing range, repair modification facilities or even just a large room with a cargo grid where players can customize as they see fit? Can you get rid of the garbage in our hangars?

TL;DRThe plan is to let personal hangars expand with modules whose exact list is undecided, and to split instance and personal hangar data so personal ones can be emptied, with no timeline given.

I'm merging all these [questions] together because the answer to all of these are sort of the same thing. [...] I'm gonna read these notes directly from Ian and Rick here so these are just their words.

"We plan to add garage modules. So we don't intend to expand the pavement but there should be more room for vehicles when you could basically add on modules and expand the hangars to the left and right and to the front and back and there's different sections. The plan is for personal hangars to be able to be customized and expanded in the future with the addition of these hangar modules. The exact list of modules are still being defined at this point so I'm not gonna be able to give you a list of whether it's a firing range or something like that. But you will be able to modify your hangars to certain extents and expand them out in other directions and stuff so that you can bring vehicles out and kind of store them off to the side and you don't have to use the ship elevator for bringing all your ground vehicles and stuff or just your smaller fighters and stuff off to the side. And as far as cleaning up the garbage around the end, we've already done multiple passes for the base hangar OCs. So we're listening to the community and moving in the right direction, that's Ian speaking there. We want to split the data for instance hangars and personal hangars separately so that we can completely remove everything in the personal hangars while still leaving some form of dressing and world building in the instance hangars."

So what this means is that as we've talked about before, you have your home location and then you have the instance hangars that you'll get at every other location when you go there. For those, right now, those are using the same OC. So when you remove the dressing from one, you remove the dressing from all of them. We want to split those into two different object containers so that the instance hangars that you get at every other space station or whatever, those can stay dressed and look good and everything, but your personal hangars, the ones that get assigned to you at your home location when you log in, those will be completely empty and you'll be able to decorate those to your heart's intent. That is our intention there. No timeline on when that's gonna come.
