General Discussion / Re: Negative slots at HQ and bases
« on: February 12, 2019, 02:04:28 pm »
Think i have removed the total # of slots so it shouldn't affect calculation
Hm, what do you mean by that? Does that mean that the total number of slots at an airport (e.g. 4000 at YVR, 8000 at JFK, etc...) have no meaning for the simulation? So there could e.g. be more than 8000 weekly flights at JFK?

Yeah, they have no meaning. They did once but a few airports ran out of slots so it was removed.

What about this - removing the limit of domestic and regional routes?

I still want to keep the IC limit for now as otherwise some mega airlines might get crazy profit and never bother with domestic/regional flight anymore - until i can change the game model to prevent that (or have certain airline-country relationship to dictate how many routes u can do) I would like to keep IC limits for now

Thoughts :) ?

Tbh, if I look at my current network right now, I wouldnt even know where to set up more IC routes. Because I feel like they would just steal pax from my existing routes that connect everything up.

Also I think not bothering about domestic/regional would not work as well, cause with out them I wouldnt have enough PAX to fill the IC ones. For example if I would delete all my domestic routes from DUS the LF of my IC routes from there would probably tank hard.

Oh boy, that would be so much work remodeling everything to profit instead of pax :D

Also I think the slots are also limiting enough. While I still have some routes left, slots are harder to get. And I think upgrading bases to a level 10+ is not really economic, cause the maintenance costs just go through the roof.

As I said in the chat yesterday, I actually quite like the idea of periodic resets. You know with like an overall leaderboard too. And maybe try each time smth different. Then we could also try things people are proposing like no limits, or only bases in one country and so on.

And with more players joining, wont there be a point when the market is saturated? Cause every connection with enough capacity is there. Then one big war price would start and the people with the most money survive. Like a soft reset with the rich getting richer haha :D

I never knew that the frequency is affecting how appealing a route is :O

Yeah, you kinda have to start/set up your bases in big cities, else you wont be succesful.

But one could argue that this is still a game, with the purpose that the players compete against eachother to climb to the top of a ladder. And picking small airports is just no winning strategy. Like in any other game if you use a bad strategy you will lose..

I just with there was a big warning about the effects of the HQ and it's importance. atm it's just "Pick your starting base" or something like that, I assumed that this was what it said, just the starting location, nothing more, so I had my HQ to be located in GRU. I didn't know the airport I picked would have 2x the slots and half maintenance, so my HQ is totally useless, while I have to fight flinke and zowlyflow with their HQ's in germany and the UK. "Common sense" I've been told. Yeah, sorry, my grandmother never told me to be careful when picking my starting location in a airline sim browser game.
It's a losing battle and I'm even thinking of declaring bankruptcy and f* it. The alliance war is lost anyway.

I was in favor of the route limits, but I think that the current rep/route/base system is too simple and doesn't work for so this many players.

I had the same problem in the beginning. When i first started I had my base in Leipzig, Germany. And at some point I reached a point there where i reached all the limits too. After I went bankrupt and started in DUS its going much better. I mean like a huge share of my profits are in DUS...

But we can complain all we want about the current system, the question is what would be a balanced solution for it? Probably pretty tricky..

Upgrade your current routes to bigger planes?

When you go to the route details screen you can also click on the little pie chart next to 'History' where it will show you where the passenger originate from.

I think it would be a nice feature if you could enter a number of planes you want to buy/sell at once. Because buying and selling 100 planes becomes very tedious, especially cause the site is quite slow sometimes when you try to buy planes.

Alltough this is maybe only a problem for the few people with a lot of money... :P

Yeah i thought that balance of the game would be impacted with them changes.
However I do believe that routes limitations is something that needs to be looked at asap, as this would prevent many people from growing airline any further.

I ended up setting "replace airplanes when" to 65% to boost my image hoping that this will change my rank from lesser international airline to the next one, but even with average of 4year old fleet, rank did not change. So now all I can do is watch my money to grow and hope that either my rank will change or limits will.

Your rank will only change with reputation. And you get reputation by increasing your weekly pax till you got 50 rep. After that you need champion points from countries to get more. So changing your replace threshold won't help you there.

Also it would be nice to be able to sort the routes by there type (domestic/regional/IC).
