Hi
No harm intended, i don't wanna be rude, but what can I do with $3B? (I mean in AM of course)
I m kinda getting bored buying aircrafts and resell and I currently don't have time to put them on new routes.
So if you guys have any good ideas to entertain rich men with money to spare( man i hate that!), please do
Most original ideas owners wins a connie
enjoy :wink:
-
I have triple your money.. i usually spend them on planes... and sell them..
-
Attempt to donate it to some sort of charity.
Love to see their face when they read Three billion Euros...of Airline Mogul Money.
-
I know lots of you have way more money than I have,don't need to brag.
I m not interesting. i'm just trying to have some fun with other ways than buying and reselling planes.
So I came up with this idea of new kind of entertainment contest where the winner wins a connie(people always need motivation).
That might also help beginner players to grow.
In short, "entertain and you'll get rich"
Suntoucher you're ine the right way!
-
I have another "useful" way. THAT IS POSSIBLE. And entertaining... Scrapping planes.

Impossible. Hey.. make this in the Suggestion forum.. maybe Air_Elbonia would make a charity up.
-
LOL too simple!
And official brokers might not be quite happy with that lot or (s)crap aircraft to sell
-
I started to think about the question you have now when I have 3 billions.
Now I have more than 10 times of cash and I can't think of a solution.
Buy and sell planes are not good because the market is already saturated and I don't want to edit routes fare. :oops:
Unless I can transfer my cash to another players or charity, I don't know what to do with the cash and get bored then.
May be you can ask the guy with over 1500+ destination in hand how to use money yet did not get bored. :lol:

And you still don't know why Hampo left? Please, give me a break. It's exactly this kind of childish, dumb and ignorant behaviour that will cause people to quit. Do you just hate brokers? Should I stop selling planes to you because you only want to scrap them? Scrapping planes is something you do if you don't know something else. Not to annoy people, or to "have fun". Start thinking about other players, not just about your own pleasure. It may be a game, but it deals with basic real-life issues.

And Dora is th winner!!!! :D cheers
LOL just kidding you certainly don't care about one more connie in your fleet.
There seems to be no answers to this question, i may think of another contest then

totally agree
Do brokers only rely on aircraft reselling or can they have their own routes/airlines too?
scrapped planes must have been a real money spinner at the (very) begining
-
Money spinner? After some six hours of game play, IIRC, I was 10 million in the red because of scrapped planes. Didn't hurt me too much though, I got back to number 1 worldwide thanks to scraps. Right now, the small airplanes are being scrapped too much.
We rely on aircraft sales, both used and new. We get a discount when ordering new planes for other players, so we can offer them to the end-user for less money than when you order from the manufacturer. We can also create routes, but mostly, the brokerage takes too much time to be able to maintain many routes.
-
I don't really understand how brokerage works sorry. how could you end up 10 million in the red with scrapped planes?
Well my post has been driven a little out of topic
Any ideas of a contest? winner gets a connie(or 2)

Game brokers work in a few ways.
First, [most obvious], they have some special abilities with a discount available to them through the broker system. They can offer larger discounts then most normal players, and they actually pay the manu's at a discounted rate as well. This is not a terribly large profit margin, compared to most normal route making play, but it is there.
Second, [less obvious], those scraps you make... most of them wind up in a random broker's hands. about 10% of them are likely to vanish to the void... but the majority of them wind up being delivered to a game broker,who has to pay the scrap value of the plane to receive it [in fact. they have no choice in the matter, they pay the price you receive for the scrap, and get the plane regardless of whether they want it or not, whether they have the money or not].
Third, [least obvious], periodically they're called upon to beta test some stuff for us and give some early feedback.
-
I can think of one new method of using money --- help MrOrange by buying planes from OrangeAir Brokerage!
-
Oh that's pretty clear, now I understand.
I haven't scrapped plane so far.
I might consider buying plane from MrOrange^^
seee ya
-
I'm patiently waiting for planes that exceed the Connie in speed/size/range and the Tu-70 in speed/range.

Does it happen to be called the Boeing 747? lmao. The best 707 variants had a range of around 4800nm tops if memory serves correct.
If an official broker needs bailing out of the red be my guest - I have 45 billion Euro lying around.

Some of the specs I've seen for the Douglas DC-7C have potential to be a Connie-killer. Not sure what could be a Tu-70-killer.
-
I have 11 billion waiting for big orders, so I'll be fine for the time being. Obviously, if I need the cash, I'd be happy to take it :)
-
The DC-7C might be a 1049 killer, but the 1649 should be a bigger, longer range 1049G...
Otherwise... you need the DC-8-50 (-30 and -40 along with 707-320B are almost longer ranged) to beat the 1049's range/speed/size... and it wont be in service this round.
OH and 3 billion... does realy go that far... i mean its not even 100 L1049s.... just save up, you'll need mucho Euros when the 707 comes along.
-
Why don't you save it for 707?
-
Out of curiosity, why would the official brokers bother with what they do? It's not like they're really playing a game. They're selling in game items to other who play a game. It doesn't sound entertaining to me.
-
Many ingam players(including me) both play and "sell items" like you said, even though unofficially. it's fun to sell planes!
How much would cost a 707? there's still 4 years t osave up.

Treat the official brokers as if they're part of the AM team. Providing a service may not be fun but the act of helping people can be very satisfying.

Because it adds a dimension to a game that can be irritating when you have 1500+ routes and no time to update them, that's my main reason I guess.
