In the video, Law of the West discusses the long-awaited feature of persistent hangars in the game Star Citizen, a concept that has been integral to the project’s vision since its inception. Players can use these hangars as a starting point to access the persistent universe, outfit their ships, store gear, and manage repairs. Law expresses excitement about finally experiencing this feature, noting that the hangar begins to take on a unique personality as players interact with it, but also acknowledges that there are several areas needing improvement to fully realize its potential.
One of the primary suggestions for enhancing the hangar experience is to allow players to spawn directly into their hangars rather than going through a lengthy process involving various transportation methods. Currently, players must navigate through multiple locations, including a Hab and a public marketplace, which can become tedious over time. Law argues that bypassing this process would streamline gameplay and align with future plans for logging into the game from various locations.
Another improvement suggested is the ability to spawn multiple ships on a hangar pad simultaneously, akin to previous iterations of the game. This would reduce the time spent calling for individual ships and allow players to manage their fleets more efficiently. Law also mentions the need for a feature that enables players to spawn smaller vehicles within larger ships, which would further expedite gameplay, especially when dealing with larger vessels.
Law also highlights the importance of having a Personal Transport Vehicle (PTV) readily available in larger hangars to facilitate movement across the expansive space. He notes that the PTV’s functionality has improved, making it a vital tool for navigating larger hangars. Additional quality-of-life features, such as purchasing empty boxes directly from the warehouse menu and the ability to tag containers with custom names, are also discussed as ways to enhance the overall user experience.
Finally, Law expresses a desire for more personalization options within hangars, including additional rooms that could serve various purposes beyond storage. This would allow players to customize their spaces and foreshadow future gameplay elements related to base decoration. He invites viewers to share their thoughts and suggestions for hangar improvements in the comments section, concluding the video by encouraging community engagement and expressing gratitude for their support.
