Running out of fuel. I'm incredibly frustrated with the rewards for world events now. The bux on offer never, ever justify the amount of effort many of us put into the event / spend on moving planes around, etc. and there hasn't been a full plane event in 5 or 6 weeks. And now we're getting bobcat parts that we had the event before last if I'm not mistaken. I don't care about the bobcat, it's not a useful plane. There isn't even an achievement for completing the Airpedia. There is so much more potential in this game that simply isn't being addressed. Pocket Planes is great, but there is nothing to accomplish after level 28. I only like playing for events now, but I'm losing interest. If the next update to the game gives us nothing new to do - new planes, cities etc, then I'll probably think about leaving as I'll of essentially completed it. Edit: My post sounded very negative - I still love Pocket Planes and will likely never delete it. I just wish there was more to do than sit around waiting for world events. Also - NimbleTim, where on Earth are ya?!
Personally I'm not sure on the value of Port Moresby. A unusual plane (not a part, and with mystery parts), or at least more bux, would potentially be worth it for the positioning of this airport. A Bobcat part + 10 Bux, eh. I'll probably do the 25 jobs to get the part (and hope it doesn't duplicate my existing part), but it doesn't seem worth it to compete. I'll probably work on some of the Awards during this time.
What do you mean "can't be extended"? Since we have Rocketships now, nobody can prevent us from going to other planets. My suggestion is to add the Moon first. We can do Apollo landing sites as destinations. Or the occasional impact crater. They make great Villain's Lairs. Suggestions for additional vehicles: Apollo Command Module; Soyuz TMA; Virgin SpaceShipTwo; or puns on all of these. (Richard Branson Special, anyone?) Next, Mars. The possibilities are endless...
Someone mentioned something about 9/11 a few pages back. I believe there'll be a plane reward for that. If there isn't I'm probably gonna delete the game.
Hahaha planetary travel looks fun! By the way, who's on top of the event chart? He's already 200+ while the others still on 99 or less... How'd did he/she do that? Awesome!
Level 30 here, and very bored. Stuck around for the events and new content/planes. But these events are horrible. No real reason to play. At least with a full plane reward and mystery parts, you can have fun hunting for parts. Certainly no need imho to bother with an event for the paltry reward offered. End game play seems to be all about events, as there isn't anything else to do. So they really need to work on that aspect. Fun little game, but about done with it myself if there isn't something interesting coming very soon. Play event for a few bucks... wait for new event ... play for fewer bucks and one part.... hope for better event.... rinse and repeat lol
I'm knocking on level 40 and PP is starting to bore me, as several others have mentioned. I probably won't even bother to do Port Moseby.... not enough of a reward for me to expand down in the Australia area again. I am starting to transition from matched pairs of Sequoia Ps and Cs to Sequoia Ms and will probably keep my current route going with maybe 25% of my current capacity (currently 20 planes I think). Basically just enough to sit and scoop up bux jobs as they come up. Now, when the Concorde, C130, and Hot Air Balloon events hit, oh yeah, I am on them..... even if it is just for a part.....
Level 46, pretty much exhausted the game, patiently waiting for new planes. The game helps me keep my sanity while waiting in line at the checkout or waiting in line for gas. And it gives me something to do while watching TV if I'm not playing Mafia Wars. Taking my time with Port Moresby. I easily spent more than the prize in rearranging my planes for this event. :-/
Bare minimum for me in Port Moresby: 33 jobs using 2 Sea Knights. I opened Cairns and Brisbane, fully upgraded and advertised Port Moresby (no austalian airports). Even then, It took a while! Closed the 3 airports already. Could have been fun reorganizing for this event, but I had almost no free time during it. I LUV SEA KNIGHTS
I have a new feature that could possibly add more depth, maintenance & faliures. Class 1 aircraft will have to be only have to be maintined and repaired once in a while, while Class 3s will have to be maintained a lot. Maintenance will cost (x) amount of coins, depending on aircraft. Neglecting to maintain aircraft will lead to maintenance getting proggresively more expensive, until a failure occurs (engine failure, stuck flap, avionics issue, etc...) and the craft will be grounded until repairs are done. But, of course, new plabes would be better.
Right now an unknown player is at #1 with 460 jobs, Train 2000 is #2 (428), and I'm battling with another unknown player for the 3rd spot (that person has 395, I have 388). #5 has 267 jobs. Not sure I can hang on to a top 10 finish as I'll be on the road and then at a dinner meeting on Tuesday. Let's see how many deliveries I can get in before then..
Wow - there were pretty much 9 comments in a row regarding disappointment toward the events!!! I think that pretty much speaks for itself! Looks like NimbleTim is non-responsive on here at the moment - I hope this means their busy creating new things for the game. I made a few suggestions for new planes a long time back that I'd like to mention again for new members here to comment on, and perhaps get everyone thinking about what else could be made; - Air Force One > Could only land at capitals of countries and also creates and increases job / bux value at an airport for X amount of time once landed (think of how cool the interior could be made with a cute little Bitizen president!) - Refueling plane > Could be made to cost a fortune to buy but could fly very, very slow and remain in the air for 3+hours and if a (class 3 only) plane is routed via it, the cost of that flight could be significantly reduced? - The Blackbird aka. Lockheed SR-71 > It's a high altitude aircraft that if flown, could be used as a radar to warn of impending bad weather (if weather was made more a part of the game perhaps). Please share you own ideas too!
No. Once you've completed 25 jobs, you will be entitled to the prize. Just double check your ranking in Flight Crew to make sure all jobs registered. You may close the airport but it's important you don't change crews as that will discredit you.
Y'all must have started when the event switched over to Port M. I got a late start and only just made it to the Top 10. Still working the main NA-EA route, flinging jobs between Tokyo and LA.
Hey Guys, I've been with toucharcade on pocket planes for awhile, so I thought I'd join the forum and say hi I also was wondering if anyone could offer some insight for when to use Sequoias vs Fogbusters
