S4 Planes (re-post)

Re-post from earlier this year:
So I was thinking about the different types of jets we have, and all of them tailor towards faster flight times. However, that may not play into everyone's strategy. In the aircraft industry, fuel efficiency is key, so why not bring a new line of aircraft that tailors towards that....the S4 fleet!
1) Aircraft will have same color scheme as the S3, except the black will have a metallic blue
2) Flights would require 30% less fuel, but take 20% longer.
3) Repair times will be 10% shorter, and aircraft in general has a 10% less chance of breaking down

This of course will come at a cost. I would say to make it a series of events that one must accomplish at a cost (like Duke's Airship). Make it that once unlocked, the S4's are only accessible in a sale once a month for 24 hours, and make it that they can be purchased with gold and silver tokens....say 20% higher than the cost of an S2. Let me know what you guys think.

30% less Fuel, a 20% longer flight and reduced breakdowns? Sounds good to me. They can be dedicated to Instant return missions - cheap, cheap!

That's the idea. There isn't enough emphasis on fuel efficiency in the game. If you can't increase your fuel capacity, then decrease your fuel consumption rate.

I like the idea
