4 BAe's already? How is that possible?

Expairience · **on:** February 27, 2008, 12:08:52 am

The game has been going for a mere 3 hours, and the top three airlines in the rankings already operate multiple BAe146s. Just out of curiosity, how is this possible? What did I do wrong?

I believe that brokers should be on a different ranking, or at least we could have an option to hide them from the ranking, newbies would appreciate it for sure

The brokers won't be a factor in the rankings later on as they focus on aircraft sales - and it's good that they develop profits as quickly as possible, because the faster they get cash, the faster they can start brokering aircraft for us.

Patience.

Why have different rankings for the brokers and airlines?

They're playing the same game just in different ways!

- People who scrap to buy more than 1 plane
- People who scrap to lease and buy planes
- Players who request for account resets
- Cheaters that are being suspended / deleted (just like every other day)

If OrangeAir is not going to be brokering this round, then they shouldn't get the scraps. Otherwise, it's totally unfair and breaks the game dynamics.

If I was in Europe competing against him, I'd quit. No point playing against a player who gets such a massive advantage right at the start.

Yeah, someone finally understands.

It might look good right now, but I'm €30,000,000 in debt because of those planes, and do you know how long it will take to make that up.

Yeah, I have no complaints about you because those profits eventually will flip back over into brokering.

But if an official broker has declared an intention not to broker this round, then they shouldn't be able to take advantage of the broker scraps.

I see your point.

I'm not gonna post the same message twice, see the other topic.

And two BAe's on the used market for lease.

A constant -10M or more bank balance doesn't help.

they have to pay for every scrap they get. And the planes they use on routes...they usually buy those ones themselves.
