    Absolutely love that idea. That, or something similar would be fantastic! I like the fuel system, but I feel that it's a little restrictive in that I can't continue playing the game even when I want to. Then when they're refueled, I have other things to do (life!). It does take an hour before that point though, and I imagine with more and more of the world open, it would be impossible to run all lines at once, thereby increasing the playing time but still...

    A fuel station could be an extra strategy, so you'd build a whole network around a hub, etc. I like the idea :)

    Yeah, I love this game but I feel like there's something missing. In Pocket planes you were able to advertise to boost jobs. I think the fuel station could fill that void. It would either be really expensive, (like 50k+ so that you would have to choose which cities it would be most beneficial for) or a temporary bonus that you could activate for coins/bux if you knew you were going to be playing for a relatively long time.

    Haha I was thinking the same thing not too long ago, didn't post it on the forum cuz I didn't know what ppl would think of it. (I thought they would think it was a stupid idea)

    I'm at 15 and haven't seen a freighter yet. I only got a dekotora at this level, or maybe 14. I started getting zephyrs a couple levels ago - they should come soon.

    Carbons are awesome. They are similar to fully upgraded Express trains, but with half the speed. 12x capacity and 600 fuel. I've already started replacing my normal Steamer lines with carbon steamers.

    I remember getting similar numbers. Unfortunately I'm level 16 now and the number of Steamers that I get are going up again. They make up almost 30% to 40% of everything I open.

    Hmm I'm a little underwhelmed by the Freighter's stats. Only carries 28 cargo vs the Standard's 24 cargo. I was hoping it could carry 30 - 32.

    Have seen the train which has 2 engines. Will the speed of this train be increased?

    Nope, same speed, same consumption, +50% load capacity (e.g. 1 engine: 8 cars, 2 engines 12 cars)

    It doesn't have more speed. It have the 50% more of capacity. For example if the train have 8 capacity will have 12.

    Currently using 7 steamers (of which 1 carbon) and one national express. Still only in Europe and about to hit level 13. I've already purchased the Africa license, but unsure about how to expand my European network to Africa since there is only one connection point.. I've got about 140k coins, so should I purchase Asia next and create a large Europe/Africa network or go for Europe/Asia and maybe expand to Oceania later.. Any tips are welcome :-D, or trainparts if feeling you could spare some (code: 1C10) that being a zero not an o..

    There's 2 connection points. One is at Madrid and the other is at Tehran or Istanbul.

    As for me, my plans are to expand to Asia then North America then Oceania.

    Alright thanks for the quick replies :). Looking forward to expanding to Asia and further away from Europe, getting kinda bored with the 8 lines I have currently running!!
