Thanks for the help on the bux bonus. Here is my current setup. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Level 25 5 pearjets's 8 sequoia's 1 cloudliner Airports open LA-NY-Paris-London-Tehran-Shanghi 4 sequoia's running coin jobs. 2 ny-shanghi and 2 Tehran-LA I have a mix of 8 sequoia's and pearjet's doing bux jobs. Each sit's in it's respective city and loads bux jobs. Once full drop off the jobs at London or Paris. After there is enough to fill a plane I will fly to that particular city. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help.
I've made the move to Android, and I'm giving away my iOS device, so I'd like to give you all some planes! Here's a list of what I have: 4X Cyclone M's 3X Kangaroo C's 3X Kangaroo P's 13X Mapple 1X Blimp 1X Pearjet M 3X Huey 5X Sequoia P's 5X Sequoia C's 3X Sequoia M's 3X Cloudliner M's 1X Cloudliner If you want one, send me a PM with your GC name and the plane you want. I'm going to ask one plane per person, and then if there's more (which I'm sure there will be) we can do more! Planes are on a first come, first serve basis. I will let you know if someone has already taken the plane you want. I'll also try to update the list when I can. Cheers!
Hey...I sent you a PM without reading the bottom part. So I was pretty greedy. I HOPE that no one else replies so that I can have everything I asked for...but if not, *sigh*, then my first choice is the Mapple; I wrote my choices in by your post *see above* ~ALY (alyssacroacia on GC)
Saturday Sabbath Hey guys just wanted to say that on Saturdays I don't play video games. As a Christian, I observe the Sabbath on Saturday, so I try to put down my iPod (which is otherwise in my hands 24-7) and spend time with my Creator. anybody else observe Sabbath today (Saturday)? Welp - I'll see everyone tomorrow. And I still have extra KK parts if anybody needs some. Hit me up in a PM and I'll get back to you tomorrow. Cheers! ~ALY
Here's an updated list: 1X Cyclone M's 3X Kangaroo C's 3X Kangaroo P's 9X Mapple 1X Blimp 1X Pearjet M 3X Huey 5X Sequoia P's 5X Sequoia C's 1X Sequoia M's 1X Cloudliner C Tomorrow I'll be open for seconds!
Ok, cool. Are they faster than the Birchcraft then? They seem rather similar. Birchcraft top speed 210 mph
Hoping for a concorde or hercules myself Have gotten something cool all ready tho, got a starship a few days ago, bringing me up to 2
Cash and Experience Bonus (Geek alert, math below I thought the 25% bonus from bux deliveries treated them as worth 500 each. Not so. NomadRichie and a few websites pointed out it's based on the value of equivalent regular cargo. If you hate details, skip to the end) Experience and Cash and Bonuses The formula I see listed in several places (which says XP = C + P + 500 × B + (2 × (B - 1)) ) is off, and doesn't account properly for 25% bonus. Looking at numbers from playing the game and some testing, here's what I'm seeing instead: Base XP = C + P + 500 × B + (INT(B/2)) * B + 1 + (1 per item on the plane) In other words, the base XP given by delivered bux is the value of what you would get for cashing in that many bux. For example, 8 bux cash in for 4032, not just 4000. 25% Bonus XP above base treats the bux according to the value as if they were cargo instead. Bonus XP for full plane = 0.25 * ( C + P + value_of_Bux_as_if_cargo ) For example, If a job from location A to B would give 100 coins or 1 bux, the bonus is going to treat the value of the bux as 100 -> bonus from the bux is therefore 25. Cash bonus - so is it the same for the 25% bonus of a bux delivery? Kinda. Bonus cash = 25% * value_of_Bux_as_if_cargo So a full plane carrying four one bux jobs going between two places where a cargo job would be 100 will give a cash bonus of 100 coins (25% * 4 * 100) Implications: Bux give much better experience points than coins, full plane or not For bux runs the 25% bonus in experience is poor, same as if it were just cargo For bux runs the 25% bonus in cash is likewise low, as if it were plain cargo At high levels, it really doesn't matter at all if you get 25% bonus or not for delivering bux. Their cash-in value totally dominates this small bonus. At low levels, grab bux as you can for experience and to build planes, and do try to deliver them in full planes as the cash is non-trivial early in the game.
Gotta be kidding Anyone else hubbing in Mexico City which just closed due to weather? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Gifts from other players, yes - in the parts section. They can take a while to come thru sometimes. For the Nimblebit gifts, they will either be bux, parts (in the parts section), or whole planes - which show up in the hangar.
