Title: Question about 10 frequency.
Post by: blumage on October 20, 2007, 08:33:05 am
Does the 10 frequency rule mean that i can have 10 flights with, let's say one of the airline plane flies 4 times then another one flies 5 times then another one flies 2 times to the same destination and so on......
this airline i saw in total has 10 airplanes flying this route, But if we put the frequencies all together its beyond the 10 rule.
is this case to be reported??

Yes it can be reported.

If all the freq flights add up to more than 10 it's illegal

I think so... it sounds like cheating very much.

Better by email -- it goes into an email box that all the mods can access.  If you PM to just one guy, it could be hit or miss depending upon the volume of PMs to him.

Sorry. There would be a delay about this. We are waiting for Stephen's decision whether to continue enforcing this rule because >10 fequencies was outlawed due to gate hogging situations. However, it is not as much a problem now that players could build terminals and gate caps have been implemented. As a result, we need the boss to decide, and I haven't seen him on gtalk for 2 days :?

10 frequencies?  The most I will operate to any city is going to be 5, maybe 6 :-)
2-3 frequencies to small regional markets.  4-5 on high-density routes, and as many as 6 on very high density routes...
Right now, I am doing 1-2 frequencies per route to get full use out of my aircraft and to maximize my profits so that I can grow rapidly.

well these airlines are offering up to 20 frequencies and price their ticket 1$.

Not only is that unrealistic, but that is a shot below the belt to competing airlines.

Not really that unrealistic to offer that many frequencies.

Southwest offers 24 flights between DAL and HOU on a Sunday and 30 flights on a Monday.... :shock:
No the price isn't $1, but how many destinations does Ryanair do that to??????

Announcement

After much discussion, the admin team has decided not to uphold the >10 frequency rule this round. We no longer see a need for that rule because,  with the implementation of gate cap and terminal features, the gate hogging situation is no longer an issue. Our stance is that if a player want to compete with him/herself and lose money by running 100 frequecies, let him/her do it (as long as there are no more than 2 0.5 frequencies within those 100). Therefore, we will only enforce the 0.5 frequency rule in the future, unless we see a change in the situation.
