TL;DW:

  • persistent hangars are instanced locations assigned to your home planet
  • size of persistent hangars is based on the biggest ship you own (assigned on first login or patch reset)
  • you'll be able to keep things around, invite people etc
  • you fly into the hangar via ATC as usual
  • you can request anything in your inventory to be sent up in the cargo elevator and put it anywhere
  • you can decide on the placement of items placed on the cargo elevator when requesting them
  • some items will have to be put in cargo container when requesting
  • item bank is a separate kiosk, used to request personal items (clothes, weapons etc)
  • item banks are available in hangars and around hubs (LZs, hospitals, rooms)
  • no more interacting with local inventory from anywhere
  • ASOP terminals will be available inside the hangars, can request your ship from there
  • ships are delivered via ground elevator in the middle of the hangar
  • you can spawn ground vehicles as well
  • you can spawn multiple ships at once (first one has to be moved away)
  • you can fall into the ship elevator and die
  • hangar sizes had to increase to fit everything needed for the new system
    • extra large: ~25% larger
    • large: ~30% larger
    • medium: the same but taller
    • small: hasn't changed
  • some small ships were reclassified to use larger hangars
  • automatic (un)loading still exist as an option in the commodity terminal
  • automatic (un)loading costs money
  • ship has to be stored to make use of automatic (un)loading and will be locked for the duration of this process
  • transfer times will vary by location (ex. cargo facilities will be faster)

Edit: added info about hangar size updates.

Well, looks like we'll be losing access to our magic bags of holdings a lot sooner than I thought.

I was surprised initially but thinking about it it makes sense - they're touching up on the inventory code anyway, might as well get it done in one swoop.
