Guide to Alliance Destinations & Map

[Eric The Great]

Flight time was not too much something like 37 minutes. I used spirit of adventure super bonus to make the map last nine hours, jet pack to automatically speed up (I think, can't remember if these flights use catalysts), vintage weather vane to speed up 30% and secret faucet to top up fuel. Setting like that, as I say, low level alliance flights are quite achievable. I. Did send all 12 planes at once each time which might have taken 20 or 50 extra fuel but no fuel on speeding up so really not a lot!

M22,

Those flights yield drops which contribute by city, one city at a time, which contribute to eventually S3 planes. Do you have a sense for the drop rate? I get the bonuses factor based upon what you've said her but curious to effectvely how many flights it takes to yield 6 drops.

Thanks,

Eric

I didn't really take a lot of notice as I got loads of s3 planes from my adventure buildings, mystery super bonuses are handy though. I'd aging with a golden dice it would be around 1 in 4

Yes, Small hangars are the ones for attack planes (Russian mission) or the X-mas hangars for sleighs.
If you make them empty by selling your attack planes and sleighs (check your stock if you have enough attack planes/sleighs to replace them in the future, or deserve new ones in coming quests) you can move any type of plane from Reserve hangar to these Small hangars. Only loading time will be a little longer then usual. The maximum for Small hangars is 6 in total so if you have them you can fly 18 planes at the same time!

Hey, I must warn you that this is an incorrect behaviour of Reserve Hangar.
This is a legitimate "hack" for now, but we are fixing many of the things associated with Reserve Hangar's work, so before next update comes I recommend removing your planes from those small hangars, because obviously they were not built for those planes, and there's risk you can lose the planes if you leave them there.

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for the warning but I am aware of losing these planes. I already told you about this incorrect behaviour in my personal message to you on december 14th 2015, together with other bugs or failures. Just to help you solve them!
And it is one-way-traffic, when the small hangars are empty you can move all types of planes from reserve-hangar to them. But not back! Maybe only when you want to place fighters or sleighs back (have not tried that), otherwise you can only loose the planes by selling them.
So I know it is a temporary legitimate hack, but a nice one.
Cheers,
Dick

Hi Ivan,

While you are at it, perhaps GI can also fix the way Reserve hangar works, because it is crazy that you have to bump out planes to shove it into the Reserve Hangar, and that you have to sell planes in regular hangar in order to use the one in theReserve hangar.

Thank you !

I don't see this as a "hack," legitimate or otherwise. A hack implies that we are rewriting code to benefit ourselves. This is a bug in the program that we are taking advantage of ... temporarily. I don't even own a blackhat.
By the way, thanks for the really challenging quests and especially the land expansions.
Cheers,
Tom

The correct term is "exploit".

 

[M22]

And we'll exploit all we can get Got to take advantage when something goes our way in the bug department!

 

[Bali Hi]

The correct term is "exploit".

Exploit is the right word.

ex·ploit
verb

1. make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource).

noun

1. a bold or daring feat.
2. a software tool designed to take advantage of a flaw in a computer system, typically for malicious purposes such as installing malware.

I just tried to put some larger planes into the small sleigh and attack hangars. It would not allow me to do it. I play on Facebook. 1st I've heard of this and was hoping I could put a few extra planes to work but was not able to. Oh well.

@greensmith Thank you so much for the spreadsheet.

To those who are in the know... how many hours is each map effective and how long are the flights?

I was going for the Apogee destination collections but ran out of Landing Lamps before Perth, my final destination. So I used my ten Turboprops to fly to Baden-Baden.
I used two maps, Golden Dice, Secret Faucet and Vintage Weathervane.
I landed 100 planes and got eight drops.
The reward for 50 landings/the first star is a chest containing 50 Fuel Catalysts. Pretty nice.
Since I have two San Marino maps, I'll fly there tomorrow.
Cheers,
Tom

 

[greensmith]

Yesterday I used two maps to San Marino, landed 100 planes and got eight drops with GD, SF and VW.
No more Turboprop destinations so I'll wait until I have enough Landing Lamps to return to the Apogee Collection and fly to Perth.
Cheers,
Tom

@greensmith @M22
Just wondering if there are any updates on Alliance map achievements and flights per map
I am getting pretty bored flying falcons on Captain tneil
Is it possible to get 500 flights using Powerful Prop?
Any bonus suggestions?

@Neil ellor
No updates from me. It'll be a long time before I even attempt the Alliance flights. Unless GI expands the Reserve Hangar, getting a bunch of S3 planes just isn't worth it to me. Since I have all Falcons now, I'm flying for the New World Excavation stars. Just three-starred the Mesopotamia Excavation. Yes, it's a grind, but since there's nothing else going on, it's the only game in town.
Cheers,
Tom

Pretty much this for me too, will start them properly once I've done the last falcon maps unless the update and a new plane is here soon. I've done some but I plan on doing 9 hour maps using mystery bonuses and tbh I really can't be bothered.

Thanks guys, i may just try out one map with a couple of powerful props to see how much fuel i use and how much repair items i need
I do have some bonuses i can use on the way to help with fuel and breakdowns
