A little late, but I found this thread lol.

Unfortunately I'm unable to open anymore regional or inter routes until I get base 12, I only have 4 more domestic left.

I guess even as the "enemy" can see I should give a few insights into my strategy.

I'm doing temp strategy right now, that will be transformed into my more permanent setup later. Basically Johannesburg and Dubai bases are used for unprofitable routes to uncovered countries for small rep bonuses with no other benefit. I'm running a bunch of those routes from Newark and Narita as well. Then there is 4 basses that are currently in the US that are there only for the route limits. I switch them between regional heavy and domestic heavy countries to maximize the route numbers for each. Eventually when it becomes unrealistic to grow the rep for an additional base I'll actually look to develop them into real basses.

My current strategy hinges on San Fran, Newark, Narita, Sofia and Amsterdam and creating a flow for the international routes. So far it has allowed me to build a few top end inter flights which ware financing my plane purchases where I still need about 60-70 billion only to expand sufficiently the routes I have right now. After that US and Japan are my targets for additional rep points, with South Africa and Dubai used to top off at the end. I'm aiming at 12 basses right now (150 rep points) and will consider if there is a viable path to 13 after that. In the meantime I've tried not to overtake Galactic in US market, but I may need to temporarily at some point for the additional rep points to get to the next base.

Long term my strategy is to develop at least 1 base in each region and sufficient feed routes within the regions for a global network. Using interconnecting international flights between the different basses and connecting the local hubs of others within the regions and with additional inter flights.

In the meantime the 4 basses in the US other then San Fran and Newark can be scrapped if someone wants to use them, just let me know.
