*cough cough* storyteller Mc*cough* Cormick here. Would a already compensated hangar owner step forward and tell the truth please ? Or did you have to sign a NDA ? ;D A hangar went between 5.000 $ - 7.000 $ back in the days. [November 2003] Hangars sold on auction [February 2004] You had to aquire many parts to activate the hangar, but you couldnt "fly" (teleport) yet. [June 2004] Sitting in a shuttle would now make you teleport you to Crystal Palace Space Station [August 2009] -Hangars and its shuttles became useless around VU 10 MindArk claimed that Hangar owners get compensated by recieving some % of the teleportation fees. Yes, we already have Teleportation Fees xD [April 2011] -2 years later Hangars got reintroduced, but were still useless [June 2011] -Cheap "spaceships" got introduced, enabling anyone who had some PEDs, to travel through space. Hangars became fully useless. How much compensation did hangar owners make by that time ? [January 2013] -4 years later Timkrans Junior said that there arent any plans on doing anything with the hangars. Hangars got changed to a fugly grey color and recieved a different 3D model though. 7 years later, do you hangar owners still get compensation by MA ? Did I miss any "hangar updates" ? Or was it the unlimited Thruster and a Privateer you got as compensation ?
Well as you say. The Thruster and privateer + the peds from the TP fee for some time were the compensation. What about the TP charges today? I mean the 7ped to jump to the planet surface? Who does that go to? TBH... MA never really had to scratch the use of the hangars. They could have done something like let people fly to space on their own accord but this is illegal and the planetary cops come after you. You need to avoid/fight em off to escape. Costs money or ship upgrades so maybe better to go the legal route The legal route would be to launch from a Hangar. You choose the hangar based on the charge the owner asks. Maybe there is tax on stackables exported/inported? I don't know... maybe it is a terrible idea. I'm not sure.
