Falcon S2

[Blue Aero]

I have two falcons already - an S1 and a regular falcon that I just purchased the other day. I have ten hangars. I have a jet that is only sent for items that I'm not really needing right now- I have all the stars for jets. I'm very tempted with buying a gold S2 falcon. Do they cost more to repair? Do they break down more often? Any downsides to purchasing one besides costing tokens? If I ever need a jet, I can swap a falcon to the reserve hangar so that is not a problem (I have two reserve spots and may buy another one next time greenies are on sale). I have enough passengers --- and one of my powerful deltas won't be needed soon as I gain all of the stars for powerful deltas.

Giant and Falcons S2 - From what I managed to learn those are the only S2 that have no disadvantages over regular planes.
It's good I'm at Powerful Deltas now, otherwise I might be tempted to buy few.

I may buy one of each and sell one of my powerful deltas --- I only have two places for stars for powerful deltas so I won't miss it much- thanks for the info! BTW - I'll be starting a red launch when mine gets back in 1.5 hours

I now have a gold falcon! In an hour, I'll have a gold giant!

So, no repair cost disadvantages (i.e. need greenies to speed up?).

regular giants and regular falcons cost greenies to speed up too --- 2 greenies for the giants and 3 greenies for the falcons/

not cool. Guess I won't plan on any hurry up flights for those beasts, then.

I would really be interested to know what destinations Falcon S2 planes fly to - it would be helpful to know this in advance.

S1 and S2 fly to the same destinations as regular planes === S1 are 10 or 20% faster (I forget --- I think 20%) and S2 are 30% faster.

Many thanks, its really useful knowing this in advance of possibly buying one of these planes. Any ideas of breakdown rates and how long repair times and how much speed-up?

Breakdown speedups are same cost as the regular planes --- 2 greenies for giants and 3 for falcons. I've been flying mine heavily and breakdown rate seems the same as the S2 and regular --- I've only had the golden one since yesterday although it's been on many flights already (I've used a weather vane twice) since I also had sky captain active --- for all the flights with my ten airplanes I only got three items and was using golden dice, regular dice, and spyglass for part of that time too --- those bonuses are worthless (at least for my planes)

FYI --- I'll be starting a red launch in about an hour - I had one going earlier and someone joined with a QL

Where were you flying with those bonuses and with how many planes?

I find s2 break down more often than s3.
