You mentioned that players will be able to go into your hangar and access your inventory or the freight elevators. Will they be able to access their own stuff inside your hangar?

TL;DRParty members in your hangar can access only their own inventory, since letting them reach yours was held back over security concerns until finer permissions exist.

Yes. So if someone is in a party with you and they end up in your hangar, they can use the freight elevator kiosk. And when they use it, they'll access their own inventory. And if they were to use an item bank in the hangar, they'll access their own inventory when using the item bank. Something that we actually started working on, and in fact had working, was having them also access your inventory. So if we were in a party, you could come to my hangar and then have the choice in the UI about whether you want to take things using the freight elevator kiosk from your inventory or my inventory. But we had some concerns about security, given that party membership isn't maybe as strong of a guarantee, because you'll end up in missions or doing things with people that... It's a little bit maybe too much power to give to somebody just because they're in a party with you to have them access your own inventory. So we still want to do that part. We just want to add more security and authorization functionality to be able to say, OK, for this person, they can access my inventory, they can't. So we want more as far as permissions before introducing that part. But they will absolutely be able to access their own inventory in your hangar.
