Hi all!
There was a update deployed earlier that completely removes instant airplane replacement.
While the change was to remove the loophole to get 100% new airplane instantaneously, several players did raise legit concerns of how they have lost the ability to renew airplanes individually.
Therefore I am proposing change as below:
1. For auto-renewal, airplanes with the lowest conditions will be renewed first until fund is exhausted
2. Adding a new option/switch for the airplane details, the label will be "Renewal status", possible values are
- Auto renewal at X% (if a airline wide auto renewal threshold is set)
- Renew in Y week (which Y is the construction cycle required to build the airplane - it could be zero, which means it will be auto-replace in next cycle)
- Disabled
3. There will be a button next to that, clicking on it will flip the status (Auto Renewal -> Renew in Y week -> Disabled -> Auto Renewal). If a company wide renewal threshold is not set, then it will just be Renew in Y week <-> disabled. Fund will NOT be deducted right the way, it will be deducted on the cycle tick, see point 4.
4. On a tick, the logic will first go through the list of airplanes that are explicitly marked for renewals in Y week, then airplanes that are below the auto renewal threshold. The renewal process would stop if fund is exhausted. Therefore if a renew in Y week is dropped to renew in 0 week, but there's not even fund, then it will stay as renew in 0 week, and try again next week.
Thoughts, comments, concerns?
