Bankrupt Airline feature

[StephenM]

I had about 2-3 others applying via PM to me, so you'd be on a list at best.

[dktc]

i got about 2-3 billion sitting in my account and theres no use to it, so i was thinking of starting one up

2~3 billion is not going to do you much good, unless you want to sell props
any "real" orders cost you 1 billion or above :wink:

[MrOrange]

I get orders for €5 billion quite often, sometimes €15 billion.

The feature will also be made available to all airlines to use if they wish to start again.

There will be alot of abuse to the system if you do that, I can imagine. They can just email me to do it instead.  :wink:

Or maybe do sth like other games that you can't reset more than once every 7 days?

you should drop the broker system. keep it a free market, all the new users have no idea they can use brokers

nah, you should drop the brokering abilities for ordinary players, as well as the ability to run an airline for the brokers. Keep it a free market, but with specialization. Then advertise the use of official brokers in the account activation emails.

Well that's why the manual is there.
The brokers are an advantage for new users.

I don't want to drop the broker system, because it opens up more ways for people to play and interact ingame, much as there are brokers in real life.  I know in other games i've played, several players chose to be aircraft brokers (of their own free will) and made their profit and enjoyment of the game through reselling planes.  The system itself is a way to integrate this style of play for all players.  Dktc. i'm not going to remove it from all players, nor will i remove any other aspect of the market from all players.

Airline Mogul isnt the same without brokers, end of. Its a unique feature to Airline Mogul, and an attractive one if you ask me. How else would you get -10% discounts on aircraft without brokers? Who would offer planes to lease at cheap prices? Who keeps 'crappy' aircraft in circulation?

 

[MrOrange]

Who keeps 'crappy' aircraft in circulation?

Is that a good feature? It is unique though. We should definitely keep brokers, otherwise you guys wouldn't even be able to be as far as you are now. Do you really think that, from the start of the game, airlines will just lease out their small airplanes? No, obviously not, because they're way too busy looking after their own airline with their own airplanes.

Ignorance is bliss.  I'm new and I figured it out.  They need to get involved if they're going to play for the big money.

My two cents.

So, is the -$8 billion guy a the bottom of the Europe rankings a prime candidate for bankruptcy?
