I've just closed down all my Class 2 airports to concentrate on Class 1 only (apart from San Diego). Anyone else feel a tinge of guilt deleting all the layovers and reading Bitbook afterwards lol?
Fly a starship Has anyone build and fly a starship? It's class 3 and has 2P/1C, flies at 400MPH and a range of 4000 MI. How expensive and crazy it would be to build it and actually use it?
Does anybody know what the 6 regions of this game are? ive tried buying airports left and right and nothing is happening.
Not positive but probably: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia (Jakarta probably counts as Australia)
It costs 22 bux to build if you have all three parts. I haven't built one but from what I've heard they SUCK. Badly. The weight is 6 tons, but normally the aircraft only weigh one ton per carrying slot, the starship weighs two per slot. I would trade all your parts away if I were you.
It does kind of suck. It costs so much to fly the plane and even having the bonus from jobs going to the same city does not help at all. You lose money using it. BUT I would recommend still keeping at least one in the Hanger or something. You don't have to use it but considering you can't just buy it in the Market, its a rare plane just worth having.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just keeping it for the sake of it. It is a Starship, therefore it is cool. But I'm trading away all my mystery parts. You want some?
I could build a starship now, and by winning the competition I could get another one. And I have lots of engines and controls. I am almost lv 30 now and just built two cloudliners. I won't event build one starship myself... BTW, the NA city really sucks for getting jobs to the east bound. I am seriously considering switching to South America - Africa - Asian route. The 3 big cities in SA really looks tempting to me...
Huh, I have 10M airports in all of those, but the achievement hasnt appeared. Do you have to send a flight to each of them, or should it be enough to just buy them?
That achievement's bugged (so is the transatlantic one). I think the devs said it would be fixed next update.
South American route??? I know I have asked this before but I need a south American route to Asia with out interfering with my existing route in the Asian portion( Tokyo Seoul bejiing shanghai) I would prefer south american to India but please no china I get confused with the routes and who I am feeding too. Thanks in advance
So while I was thinking about switching to cheaper-to-fly Sequoia's vs. Faster, slightly larger Cyclones, it dawned on me that the flying cost probably doesn't matter much. The reason? Bux jobs dominate everything else when it comes to gold/hour. Right out of the box, Bux jobs are worth twice as much as a normal job. They spawn as if they were equivalent to 250 gold per bux compared to normal jobs . For example, right now I have a job from Rio De Janeiro to Shanghai for 1,346g and one for 6 bux. 6 bux is worth 3000g even if you turn them in one at a time. Now, as you know, the value of Bux goes up based on how many you exchange. So if you have say, 1000 bux, the value of adding 1 more bux is already up to 1500g (the bux itself is worth 1000g, plus it raises all of your existing bux by 0.5g). That is now worth 6 times the value of an equivalent normal job. So from our previous example, that 6 bux job is now worth 9000g! So filling up a plane with these jobs, assuming you have 1000 bux: 12 cargo at 1,500g each = 22,500g (with 25% bonus) 3 jobs at 6 bux each and 9 empty seats = 27,000g The relative value of bux really gets crazy as you go higher: So at 5,000 bux: 12 cargo at 1,500g each = 22,500g A single bux job worth 6 bux = $33k gold! So, if you had the choice to take an entire perfect shipment across the world, or save a single 6 bux job from expiring, you should take the bux job! Knowing this, maybe the prevailing strategy of having a relatively small number of airports open and focusing on flight bonuses isn't the best one. Maybe we should have as many airports open as possible - to spawn more bux jobs - and a lot of small planes to pick up as many of those jobs as possible. The feeder/hub paradigm will probably still be valuable, for taking the western bux to Asia and vice versa. Any thoughts?
