If a player is inside their ship, inside their personal hangar, and they log out from the ship bed, where do they wake up when they come back in? Has the ship been stored?

TL;DRLogging out in a ship inside your hangar will not return you there in this release; you'll log back in at the station, though login flow is to be revisited.

Yeah, so in this case, it won't be back in the hangar for this particular release. Again, this is just one of those things where there's a lot of complexity in how the hangar instancing works and considerations across shards and server meshing and all of this. So for now, no, it won't be that if you were to log out in your ship in your hangar and then log back in, you're going to end up in your ship in your hangar. But we do want to revisit logging in and out with the hangars in particular. So that's something that we're going to be absolutely looking at more specifically. And if anyone's kept up with my hot take commentary on Spectrum, they'll know there's already some discussions more broadly about login flow. And this definitely ties into it, about just generally how logging in is supposed to work in the game. And hangars are an important aspect of that, but we're thinking much broader than that. We're thinking the whole game, so we also need to be thinking about things like habs, like bases, all of it. So this is definitely an aspect, but in this particular release it's not going to work out like that. You'll end up just logging back into the station.

I mean, as it is right now, and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you try to bed log in a ship in the hangar, it doesn't let you, because to try to avoid it, it gives you a restriction or whatever. But yeah, as these things become more of a home for players, as they begin to decorate it, I can see the desire for that behavior to change, which is probably where that question comes from.
