Hi!

On page 158 of the core rulebook it says the Oryx has a Space Scooter as extra gear, but hasn't got a hangar module (not even a cargo hold module) for it.

Does that mean it's possible to acquire a Space Scooter without the need of a hangar? Or is it just an error?

Hm, weird noone has answered yet.

I'm assuming it has a space specifically made for that one scooter, like a liferaft space on a boat. A hangar module is universal and can take a variety of ships, and a cargo hold perhaps doesn't have necessities like tools, fuel refill stations and equipment/aid to make landings easier.
Maybe you can, as a GM (or ask your GM), to have a "Scooter space" that's made for one specific type of scooter on your ship that takes a little less space than a hangar if that's what you want. So you can't dock/use any other ship on it but at least you can go between bigger ships easier and such with that one scooter.

That's a good way to look at that, yes. Thank you for your answer!

But I also compared the German version of the rule book with the English one... it seems there's one extra module missing (they only have 9 instead of 10) - which could be the hangar module for the space scooter.
I still prefer your answer though. ; )
