That has to be a record. What have you saved every bux since you started? The big thingsthat jumped out at me were that your cargo was so much more than your passengers...and then...HOLY CRAP...98 AIRPORTS! WOW! I completely 1000 percent agree UNLESS you are using flysher's bux strategy. Then, collecting 1 &2 bux jobs is pointless for the most part. Using the strategy and sitting for a few refreshes more, eliminating 1 bux jobs and opening as many class 3 airports as possible has allowed me to collect even faster. I'm currently doing about 1200 bux per sitting. I just started eliminating 2 bux jobs per my coins table, and I'm also experimenting with pulling the refresh tab for 8 bux, whenever I can't get a city to load fast enough. So far it is a break even prospect, but I've only tested it about 20 times. I'll post my results when I know for sure about the refresh tab.
That wouldn't really work for me as the middle cities, Tehran, New York and London are needed to span my Sequioa flights to get to the far airports. Also London is my main transfer hub so I kinda need that one. I also have Chicago and Paris but they are only really there as backups in case New York and London get closed however I also use Paris to send my large aircraft event fleet to instead of London after dropping jobs off so I don't mess up my main strategy. I might ditch Chicago as its planes might be better used elsewhere and it doesn't seem to produce as many jobs as other airports. I'm considering opening more airports at the far ends maybe Tokyo, Lima, Mexico once I get the cash to buy them and the planes to feed them and seeing if that helps and produces more big bux jobs. Thanks for the other tip about the cash values too, i'll remember that if i'm in a rush to check jobs
Nope, this is my third big bux exchange or so. This is my Blimp strategy at work. Allows me to just fling planes across the globe at almost no cost, filled with on average 25 bux at a time. I've never had the patience to wait for a refresh and with 98 airports that's a useless strategy anyway. What you need is a lot of airports and a lot of Blimps, basically You need airports at the world's rims because that's how you get the 10+ bux jobs. And you need airports along the way because of the limited range of the Blimp (even if I've upgraded all of mine to the hilt). A lot of airports if you want to build in redundancy, meaning that closing any airport always should leave a secondary route open across the oceans. The show must go on, closures or not. Plus you need a bunch of Class 3 airports for the large carriers. Oh, and almost forgot - I'm often too lazy to close the event airport. So it adds up. I have no idea what caused the big discrepancy in passenger numbers. I have certainly flown more pax than that. Somewhere along the way, quite a while ago, it suddenly recorded a smaller number and I've no clue what precipitated that. Bit annoying, but what can one do? It's NimbleBit, after all Cheers, M.
another tip... Another thing i noticed is that if you have a city that won't generate any bux jobs except 1 bux jobs, if you grab that 1 bux job in a couple of refreshes the bux jobs start flowing for that city. I call it breaking the seal.
I have quite a lot of airports open (so that I can fill my aero eagles with bonus or not and be done with them), and there is usually no more than one 5bux job and some 1bux ones, even after breaking the seal Also, roboroboto thanks for the blimp, let me know if I can get anything for you!
If you want jobs for more than 5 Bux the airports need to be further away from each other, it's the same as with how much coins a job gives. Like, in LA you can get 9 bux jobs to tokyo, 5 to Paris, 4 to London and 1(or 2?) Bux to NY. For more Bux jobs overall upgrade your airports. Upgrading results in more jobs in that airport and Bux jobs appear at some percent of total jobs - so more total jobs = more bux jobs. (some luck is needed too ofc ) Like bido91 already said, bux jobs may seem as a loss early in the game as you'll not get a lot of them and need coins first, but later on they get more valuable. If you collect thousands of them the exchange rate gets pretty high, and it's easier/faster to collect e.g. 10k Bux and exchange then to get the 55 million coins you'll get for them Depending on how much slots you'll want to buy the number you'll go for to exchange varies of course.
I was looking for a bit of helping hand, i have 2 sequoia (one p, one c) that where sent to me by Faye. i used them for bux sitting for a while. but i would like to exchange them for Sequoia M's instead. so i can bux exchange in tokyo and new york in the same time Or would you guys think i should use them paired in one city and then the other ?
Some of us prefer P/C planes versus the M planes. Vic shared the rational behind that (see SUCK resource page in spreadsheet, linked in my signature). Do you have a PAIR of cities open at the end-points? Say New York and Chicago and then Tokyo and Seoul? Ideally, you want a pair of cities so you can collect BUX, then use someone like a Cyclone M to pick up and deliver to final destination. In the meantime, you can always use Aeroeagles or other planes as BUX sitters until you build up your fleet. For me...initially, i put a pair of M BUX sitters on one end that will changed place when full or almost full. This way there's always a plane at the end point for BUX collection.
Well done! How many slots now? It's pretty amazing if you think about it: we all play the same game, but our experience with it is so hugely different between you, me, Gus and so on. The flexibility in strategy this game allows is really rare in mobile gaming I guess, even more in F2P titles. And 98 airports, I'd be insane lol. But I really like the idea of 50 Blimps flying all over the world, in the wind, carrying 10 Bux jobs lol I will try it someday! About the negative airline value, it's because by adding your planes and airport value to your cash, you did cross the max threshold
Ahh, I stand corrected! That explains all. Except the low pax numbers, of course. Now on to 62 slots. And it's actually only 30 blimps. Used to be 40 but I got sidetracked along the way, first into SKs, then into Concordes, now SKs again. Not to mention a handful of Aeros for Class 2 events, plus the odd KK. Working on a fleet of C-130s but they're definitely scarcer. Actually, that's the main reason for increasing slots. When I get bored, I trade. Problem is, one gets too many planes that way Cheers, M.
I noticed you guys mentioning (bux) sitting. Is it what I suppose it is:airplane sitting in an airport until filled? I now do that with my class 3's only for 25%bns, since I don't do bux farming that much
Well there are many different strategies to 'bux sitting.' It all boils down to picking out the bux (green) jobs to fill your plane as opposed to the coin (white) jobs. Flysher has a good strategy to build on in the #TA1 Gamecenter spreadsheet otherwise know as the SUCK. I use a modified version of it using London and Paris as central hubs. It is also scaleable depending on your level and number of slots. Additionally, if the bux jobs are low you can substitute event jobs for bux jobs and follow a similar strategy to do events. Hope this helps.
I've done goofed... Parts are on their way To everyone requesting a Blimp engine... I've done goofed... I only have bodies and controlls and I somehow managed to misstype "controlls" into "engine"... I blame the educational system in my country for that one. I've sent you a controlls instead, hope that's okay PondusFm -Edit: Soar2344, sent you a GC friend request, accept and your parts are on their way
The heck with idolizing Gus, Vic, and SP! With 62 slots Merlion you are the wo-man? (scratches head) HELL, YOU ARE IT!
Thanks again PondusFM. Just got the parts and I'm totally fine with controls. As your name might imply, you are the F'n Man.
Thanks again Pondus for the parts, now I just need to get a Blimp engine to build my first one and start my way to a mega world dominating Blimp fleet like Merlions. Shouldn't be a problem with that, as I mentioned in a previous post the next event will be a blimp giveaway.
Thanks Vic for the Blimp engine. I had forgotten the random generousity of this crew to give out parts. I don't have much to give away but let me know if you do need anything and i'll see what I can do. You have now set me on the path to world domination with a blimp fleet now I just need to find another 87 parts I would love to get parts to complete my existing C-130 or is that pushing the generousity too much. And really do not send any parts this is a joke, i'm happy to get the one that is the prize for this event.
