Mostly stuff we’ve already seen but provides the most up to date info about personal hangars.

TL;DW:

  • item kiosk have limited capacity, can only spawn smaller items (weapons, armor, food, etc)
  • unwelcome guests will get a trespassing timer when entering your personal hangar, will get teleported out after it runs out
  • no more Armistice Zone in your hangar, you can kill trespassers without worrying about getting a Crime Stat
  • the above counts for both personal hangars (the one on your home planet) and instanced hangars assigned when landing at other landing zones
  • you can place items all over your personal hangar
  • hangars were expanded to provide more space to decorate them or just store items when spawning your ship
  • hangars applied to some ships were increased
  • when buying commodities you can select whether you want them delivered to you inventory (instant) or pack them on your ship (takes time and money)
  • you can create “sell orders” which will be wait for you to deliver the accepted amount of commodity to the freight elevator on the delivery location
  • you can also sell normally (straight from your local inventory)
  • (un)loading times are based on the box size (smaller box = longer loading)
  • search is in for local inventory (only name based for now)

    Not saying it’ll turn into 4k/60fps experience but it should be better.

    Mate it’s a Deck, that’s not in the cards anyhow 😀 some of the benefits of having been at this stuff for about 40 years now are that I’m fine with extremely potato settings etc and I have a very high tolerance for lag and jank.

    Is there any other way to test the performance without paying for a starter pack, besides free flights? Not that I mind waiting, Oct/Nov’s going to arrive way faster than I’d like anyhow heh

      Oh I’m fully aware, I have a Deck as well just never tried SC on it.

      There’s no benchmark or anything like that at the moment. You could try browsing through the telemetry page - it’s not great but if you can find specs similar to the Deck you could get some idea what to expect. There’s also this thread from Spectrum (official forums) where someone tested performance of the latest patch with SD - it was before the full live release but I doubt things changed much, if at all.

        Ah nice, thank you for the links.

        ~10fps in eg. cities sounds like it might be beyond my jank limit but hard to say how the overall perf would feel like. Hmm, I might look into trying to run it on my laptop but it’s Apple ARM – I have a vague memory of seeing something like Proton / CrossOver pop up recently specifically for Apple silicon.

        I take it you’ve never tried running SC on the Deck?

          Nope. I played on a laptop for some time but that was years ago, before we even got planets.

          If it makes you feel any better my desktop consists of: Radeon RX 580, i7-4790K (lol) and 24GB of RAM. I’m surprised game is even playable with this setup and yet, it can be done. Somehow.

            Feel like being a guinea pig for checking out how the current version of SC runs on the Deck? 😀

            But more seriously speaking I think I’ll give something like Whisky a go. My laptop’s decently new so if I can wrangle the emulation it might be Good Enough™ when coupled with a PS4 controller for testing things out during a free fly week

              I can’t promise an extremely in-depth report but I can give it a shot over the weekend. I was curious about how it compares to my desktop anyway. Just need to figure out how to shuffle stuff since it’s filled to the brim at the moment.

                Well that’d be awesome, but don’t sweat it! Would make my life easier if the perf on the SD was at least in the same solar system as “OK”, but there’s a decent chance I could use Whisky (or CrossOver) for this

                  I wasn’t able to get the game running on the Deck so far due to launcher issues. It worked fine initially, I was able to install and download everything without a hitch but now launcher simply doesn’t work. I can’t even try getting into the game, it’s really weird.

                  I’ll try to find a way to fix it, if only to know what happened and why, but as it is now I might not be able to test things out anytime soon. I’ll let you know if there’s anything worth sharing.

                    Ah that sounds like a real hassle. Thanks for trying it out though, this definitely tells me that the Deck’s probably not going to be my platform for playing SC
