Version 2 Updates / Re: Future Game reset - new ideas and game mechanics. Airline-club V2 woot woot
« on: March 11, 2019, 01:46:22 pm »
Very interesting concepts, I agree that a complete reset is necessary. My friends and I started a little over 2 months ago, and I kind of feel we have hit our limit with how crowded things are, almost everyone in my alliance is in second rate hub cities, and it does really make a difference how many people we can move. That, and making reputation is like just finding small countries and losing money on the routes, as there is no way to fight for the big countries really. More dynamics will help, but also just getting rid of dead airlines will be nice.
Can't say I see a use in a rental system as someone suggested, someone else made the point it was the same as taking out a loan pretty much, which already exists.
I think... the best addition would be route planning, that way larger capacity planes can be spread out more, and less slots utilized.
The cool thing about this game is that it is simple management, compared to other airline games. Negotiation may negate this, if you are buying slots the whole way through, then that is another chore than simply getting PAX to an airport, loyalty, and upgrading base levels.
I am all for the reputation between countries and airlines, and making it more interesting how to get a hub. One thing that might hurt though is down the road when there are as many big airlines as there are now, it may be too hard for newer people to get into larger more desired countries (and smaller countries with less airports)
Overall reputation is the thing that really gets me though, I think the system needs to allow for growing stronger even if you cannot get on the board with other countries. Maybe it is based off of reputation with individual countries, not just being in top 10 or top 5. Even if it measures it in micro-steps for the poorest countries.
IFE is interesting, but I think a lot of people, especially early on, are just trying to fill planes, a lot of us still have not got into major competition to woo first class, so making things to increase flight quality are interesting, but might be over-complicating. I mean in the end, how many of you are not flying 5 star service quality? Are you really going to not put TVs on your planes if given the choice?
Just some thoughts... Excited to see where it all goes in the future.
