Star Citizen hangar doors not opening: exit is blocked at Stanton Gateway
Tracked since 27 Aug 2026 · Last researched 27 Aug 2026
Problem
At Stanton Gateway Station in Pyro, the inner large-hangar door can open while a solid exterior door or wall remains in place, leaving your ship unable to exit.
Applies to Alpha 4.10 LIVE; exact affected hotfix unresolved · Current
Current conclusion
No broad recovery is supported. The only exact-incident departure report is historical, conditional, and too weak to publish as guidance; common retries either failed or carry a reported cargo-loss risk.
What not to try
Do not rely on changing region
Changing region worked in one report from ARC-L1 but failed for the exact Stanton Gateway incident. Another player reported ship destruction and loss of two million aUEC in cargo after storing to try another server.
Repeated relogs and return trips are not reliable
The exact 2026 report says leaving and returning, changing approach, relogging, and force-closing did not reliably clear the solid exterior door.
Boundaries and evidence
Use this only when the inner hangar opens but the exterior remains physically blocked. An ATC request that gets no response, a blocked hangar at another station, or a ship that disappears while crossing a door needs different guidance.
No current independent Alpha 4.10 execution result was found for an incident-specific recovery, and no action has a measured success rate.
The current status of the linked exact-incident Issue Council ticket and the affected Alpha 4.10 hotfix could not be verified.
One historical report says a smaller ship could leave through another hangar, but it does not establish recovery or cargo safety for the blocked large ship.
