When, and how often payment of Hangar

[Minotarut]

I have some items in one base. The payment for leaving it in hangar is very expensive. But how often does the base-crew take money from my account? Once, or many times depends on... what?

P.S.
Another my question. In which way can I change my first weapon - to choose beam canon or laser, or both?

Thanks for help. :-)

Hi and welcome Minotarut.

The payment is based on the Universe Cycle. I don't know the exact time but 10-15min maybe.
That is also for receiving pay for controlled systems (Clan Thing).

You have all your key bindings in your main game folder (keymap picture).
You can fire each weapon individually or use a cycle button (Guns / Lasers / Both)
If I recall correctly this is the default keys:
F5 - Guns
F6 - Laser
N - Cycle Primary
Shift - Missiles

Hope this helps a bit.

Yes, it works!
Thanks a lot.

Hi Minotarut

There are two cycles: around 12 minutes for being paid for controlled systems if you are a clan member and around 25 minutes for paying to a station for the hire of a hangar.

The timings aren't precise and to some extent vary with ping rate! (no idea why!)
