Players in Elite Dangerous have voiced strong criticism over recent hangar bay restrictions that limit compatibility to only three newly released ships. A community member highlighted on Reddit that the official explanation citing "module size" does not hold up, as the hangar uses existing ship models and some excluded ships, like the Type 11 Prospector, do not conform to the claimed size constraints. The player calls for a more inclusive system that would allow popular ships such as the Panther Clipper, Caspian, Beluga, and Anaconda to be housed in the bay. This debate underscores ongoing tensions around ship customization and storage options in the game as the live service evolves.
- Restriction currently applies to only three recent ships.
- Community requests inclusion of popular ships like Panther Clipper and Anaconda.
