Hangar Hall

• The first, temporary version of Hangar Halls has been added. Pieces can be found under PTU -> Hangar Hall subfolder in Crafting.
  
• The hall is built similarly to a Factory Hall and also requires the Hangar Hall terminal
  
• Flying a ship near the Hangar Hall area allows you to despawn it to the station's storage. It can be then spawned from any Hangar Hall on the station.
  
• You can enter Ship Designer from the Hangar Hall terminal as well
  
• The temporary Hangar Hall is not always able to rotate ships optimally, which can make it possible to despawn a ship but not be able to spawn it again from the same hall. Building the halls as cubes is recommended for now to avoid this.
  
• Note that at some point when the final version replaces the temporary solution, ships inside current hangars will likely have to be wiped out! This will be mentioned well in advance, so you can prepare when we get to that point.
  

Ship shops

• Added materials and alloy icons to the material selector: Alium, Baltium, Bastonium, Exutium and Glass
  

Ships

• Fixed an issue where all items in the ship respawning area were deleted without warning when repairing a ship via the repair panel
  
• Fixed an issue where pilot chair device binds stopped working when doing multiple inputs with hybrid buttons
  
• "Allow ship to leave Safe Zone", "Allow towing in Safe Zone" and "Disable safe mode" settings are now configured in the Ships tab instead of the Settings menu. This now allows configuring these settings for each ship separately.
