Mystery hangar fee

Tucker · Post by **Tucker** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 9:22 pm

Since I finished the last mission and got the last update both I have been getting a hangar charge that says only station > nothing after that. ... I do not recall ever seening the charge come up before or ever putting anything in a hangar

Thanks

Edited for spoiler...

Correct, that is a bug with the hangar system. You can remove it manually from your profile (let me know and I'll provide instructions via u2u) or wait for the next update, which will correct it for you next time you save at that location.

No problems I can just wait for the next update
Thanks

I had the same message pop up, and I was sure I did not have any ships in storage!
I'll wait for the next update as well!;)

Actually, I've had that message appear on occasion, but when I have put a ship (or just equipment) in storage. One time it was because I'd left a ship in Riftspace, another time I'd left a ship in one of the Onyx stations (Onyx Alpha, I think), and I kept getting charged by station " ".

That said, when I've left ships in places like Orion or Fauston, it'll give me the name properly. For worlds like Onyx the name should definitely be given, but perhaps it would be more mysterious if it was withheld for a hidden, uncharted station!

Hmm.. Im at Evochron station 0,0,0 and I have a couple of items in the hangar.. and I get a message:

< Account: notice: 56000 transferred for hangar fees >
< Station fee collected for: >

Im using the latest test build (the exe in a zip for the first time that I can remember) and I have saved and exited and reloaded my profile a couple of times after using the hangar.

Does my profile need a manual tweak?

Thanks

If you have things stored in a hangar the Station of the hangar will charge a fee every time you use or store something there. If you leave something in the Hangar for a period of time it will keep charging you a fee in intervals it is like a rental, you are renting a Hangar for storage. And the fee will increase with your wealth! And every time you exit and enter the game this fee will be charged! I know it is expensive, better way is to save profiles then to use Hangars!LOL:P:P:P

but there is no way to say what station is charging you? I did store an item, and I did remember which station, but the message doesn't say that, I personally think the message should include at least the system where the station is

It could be an old listing from a time when you stored something using one of the test builds that didn't include the name of the station, or it could be for the hidden location. I can remove it if you send me your profile, although if it is a legitimate station storage entry, you'll lose whatever you had in storage.

I actually put a Leviathan and several items in Evochron station on my save. Didn't touch it or go back for probably a week... then went back and had nothing in the hangar. Yet was getting these messages along with my normal fee's. Is this related to the same bug?

IE losing items/ship from hangar?

Nooob Question. I've been to a lot of stations so far but have not seen any hangers. I'm told that I can buy a second ship on my character and store my other one in a hanger and swap them out. Is any of this true? If so, is it a spoiler to tell me where hangers are? or how you use them

No, the bug was related to something else at the end of the beacon quest. Did you put anything anywhere else? If you'd like me to clear out a hangar listing, just send me the profile attached to an e-mail.

I'll send that through tonight. Am I actually losing things or do they just go invisible and not show up or something?

Those hangars must be very hungry, or think you'r a canned fighter you!LOL:P:P:P

Not sure yet. There were several problems with hangars during the testing phase that needed ironed out. By the official 1.088 release, hangars should now be working reliably with proper labelling of hangar locations.

Yes it looks like it is working I have been playing ver 1.089 for a while now and did not have any hangar issues! The Spy mission is awsome!

Eventhough it seems you do not need a Cargo Scanner to complete a spy mission it seems to complete faster if you do have one especialy the Class5 one! I tried it without a stealth generator and with a stealth generator, and without scanner and with scanner. The stealth generator makes it easier and the scanner seems to make the completion go faster!

Is it supose to be this way with the Cargo Scanner making the completion of the mission going faster?

sorry to bring this up again, Im not sure what is wrong with my save, but Im still getting strange hanger fees, I had one just now when I was testing the revised 1.097r

I can't think for the life of me what I could be storing in the hangers still, yes I did store a few bits in a station in Fauston, and the message didn't say what station or sector, this is getting annoying, any way to fix this please?

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Wed May 13, 2009 2:41 pm

If you stored things on a hidden planet or an unknown Station, this is the only time it can not give you the name or location of the stored items or which system, since it is unknown! If you believe it was in Fauston, then it probably is on the hidden planet there!

matthewfarmery · Post by **matthewfarmery** » Wed May 13, 2009 3:37 pm

thats the thing, it wasn't a hidden planet, but on a station, I removed the stuff from it, and Im getting these hanger fees, at least I think so, but the message isn't telling me where the stuff is located, most annoying

Hi matthewfarmery, Vice may be able to help if you ask to send your Pilot file to him. Good Luck.

The only way to remove the fees is to pin down the location and remove the items from the hangar. If you'll send me your profile, I'll check it out and can either remove them for you or let you know the location of the hangar.

matthewfarmery · Post by **matthewfarmery** » Wed May 13, 2009 4:56 pm

well this is strange indeed, good news, I found some more stuff that I had in storage

on the station orbiting sapphire, I stored a fuel converter and some goods, the fee I was getting was around 60000

so ok I removed the items and sold them, end of story? erm wrong, I placed a level 2 laser in storage to see if the name of the hanger or system would come up in the message log, it still didn't, I removed the item and waited again, again I was charged, but the fee jumped to 81000???? something is major wrong here, I can't think where else I have stored any more items, I was sure when I found the fuel converter and goods, that should have delt with the fees? odly not, now Im back to square one, with increased fee costs

what is your email Vice so that I can send you my save game? as Im running out of ideas on this:(:(:(

Post by **Vice** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:04 pm

starwraith.com > contact

Odds are, you had to start a new 'lease' agreement when you removed the old items, left, then later stored new ones. The price you pay can change by resetting your rental agreement under new terms. But a fee shouldn't still apply if you've removed all items from all locations. I should be able to find out what the status is with the profile.

email sent with my most recent save, thanks in advance:)
