Now I can't wait to get home... oh well, 3 hours to go !
They give you cash money to download the Hanger Module too. 5000 credits which is 2.5 the money I had before
I did not know that. I was just going to skip this, but I guess I am going to have to download now.

Son of a bitch. I'll get some sleep and try again in the morning.
You don't even have to actually download the module. It authorizes as soon as you download the launcher.

The premium hangar looks so much better than the business hangar, although I feel that having multiple ships plays a part too. Anyone have screens of the basic hangar?

GOT DAMN. Awesome
Lights cost money.
But hey, it feels more like OT Star Wars as opposed to the PT Star Wars of the premium hangar. Yeah, take that, suckers!

The closed off first floor of the business hangar is the worst of the lot.
I know everyone has already posted this but I made a short video of my Freelancer hangar so I figure why not share

First floor? You mean the balcony / observation deck?

Yea. It is completely enclosed in the business hangar and you can only see through tinted glass which obscures the view too much.
Ladies and gents, we have a hangar hipster in here.
I can't live my Firefly dreams sitting in a hangar that look like the inside of a Imperial Star Destroyer.

Hehe, true that. I think customizable lighting (as in the ability to turn on/off lights in different sections of the hangar) would go a long way of making the business hangar feel less sterile. You can achieve a similar effect by turning on the holo console, which dims the lights.

It seems to be working now. A few friends and I were having issues for the past few hours but now all of us managed to get in just fine and on the first attempt. Try it out if you've been having trouble.

I like my basic hangar. Will feel more like a rags to riches
I can get in just fine too now - couldn't in the afternoon.
Also created profile in RadeonPro to at least check the FPS and turn VSYNC and AA with AF on.

My Impressions on the Hangar :
- Very good music piece for the downloader.
- Looks good, extremly large tho IMHO.
- Ships are great, some take a while to manage to find "where to stand" to get into (300i is particularly hard to find out).
- No keybinding is a major turn-off for me, but (I hope) will probably be possible later.
- Is it just me but even the constellation feels "Cramped" ? not a bad thing in itself, but a bit surprised.
- I hope we can paint the hangar later, not a big fan of orange color, heh.
- Took me 2 tries to get in
- No 1900x1200 resolution yet, oh well.
- Got a BSOD (black screen of death) when I chose to exit (Alt-ctrl-del got me out of it)
- Finally something that made my video card heat up.
- It felt unpolished, but that is a given due to it being in very early alpha-mode.
Looking forward for more

Guys, if I could make a suggestion.
Consolidate discussion to this new thread in gaming http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=665089
That way we can keep it bumped and spread the word about the game. No point in bumping a community thread except for those that are subscribed.
Plus, Mr. Big did a great job on the OP and it gives updated and relevant information to people.

The ingame store is up where you can buy hangar customization items and the buggy for ingame credits - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/voyager-direct
The buggy costs 20,000 credits - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/store/261-greycat-ptv
They are also selling credits for real world money at the rate of $1 for 1000 credits - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/central-core-bank
This means the buggy costs $20 (or $13 since everyone probably has 7000 credits already). Weapons cost 8000-12000 credits. Official forums in uproar over the pricing.

I can help you with that. It may have to wait until Sunday though. I just flipped a package so I can't melt it for 24 hours.

I know people are pissed, but nobody knows how fast 20,000 credits will take to make in the game yet. It might not even take that long so all this complaining is a bit premature. Plus, all this is optional, you don't have to buy it if you don't want to, it can all be earned in game.
$17 million reached by the way

Yeah, I noticed that. Protest by upgrading to the deluxe hangar.
That ended up happening after all...
Actually a friend of mine very kindly gifted me the deluxe hangar upgrade. Probably got tired of my bitching about the business hangar and did this to shut me up
I'm too lazy to type up another post, so please forgive me for copy-pasting my posts from the Alpha Hangar thread.
Direct X 10 graphics card users (under Windows 7 and upwards) can still join the glorious Hangar Masterrace!

By the by, for those of us with DX10 cards, a user on the SC forums has gotten the Hangar module to work using the Windows Advanced Rasterization Project which should be part of Windows/DirectX if you've installed this Platform Update - which should have already happened if you're running Windows Update every now and then as it also fixes some bugs and whatnot. Windows 7/8 only, I'm afraid.
Next you need to get the Crysis 3 SDK files. You can get them over here for free and without registration or any other shenanigans. It's a zipfile, too, so no need to install stuff, just open it in WinRAR or 7zip or whatever.
Now copy the following two files:
from the "Engine" subfolder of the SDK into the folder (installation location)\StarCitizen\CitizenClient\Engine.Code:ShaderCacheStartup.pak ShadersBin.pak
Be careful not to overwrite any files, they shouldn't be there. If you get a warning about an already existing file something has changed and you better stop right there.
Keep in mind this is in no way, shape, or form supported or endorsed by CGI and may or may not work depending on your hardware.
Also, don't expect amazing performance or anything.
It works, I can play around in my Hangar on my ancient Ati 4850 with 512 MB RAM, which is way outside the official specs.
Proof:
The framerate is horrible, maybe 10-20 fps, but who the fuck cares. Above was taken at 1080p and low quality preset.on
Edit: Fiddling around with the settings for a bit, at 720p and on Medium (not the default low) quality settings it's serviceable. The framerate is still nowhere near perfect, but it's good enough to explore the Hangar in earnest.
