Description (Specifications)

Vehicles (such as Air/Rafts) may have dedicated hangers or may be stored within the ship's cargo hold.

Some hull configurations (such as dispersed structures) make internal hangers superfluous. However, it is not uncommon for such designs may make use of subhulls and pods to create sealed, pressurized hanger space.
