Potential Causes

- Purchase issues. Were there any problems during the payment or order process? (Like any real world transaction)
- Bugging systems. This can happen with games and their virtual items.
- Account glitches/mistakes Is the account correctly registered with the game platform?
- Not connecting to the game servers properly. Network issues are common these days.
- Poor inventory management (virtual) Maybe your digital hanger is cluttered.

Troubleshooting the Hidden Hangar Puzzles
This part delves deep to examine some of the hidden parts:
- Do the ships appear in the incorrect sections of the hanger? A specific location within the ship selection areas
- Is your in-game storage filled up? If this is true, can't your ships appear in the area to access!
- Might the ship require activation in a certain system for visibility within the game (this could involve activating a license, which often appear in purchase screens )
- Does your Star Citizen inventory system have particular settings that might hide ships? Some advanced settings are possible.
- Do some actions or events, like using or exploring in-game features cause the items disappear?
