Level 3 runway/next steps?

[marshimus]

Hi all,

Apologies in advance, sure this Q has been asked many times.

I have a relatively small airport, focussed on quick coin buildings and land expansions.

My question is on what to focus on, my idea was guest planes, specifically being able to land Hawks, but for 15k to upgrade is that wise? My name is Marshimus in game if people want to check what I have.

I'm level 16 and can't really tell if I'm doing well or not haha

It seems like a reasonable step.
Focus on completing the Owl destinations. Once you have completed the stars, if you can't afford to upgrade to hawks, fly to Cape Canaveral. This destination drops items for spaceship launches, which are an important part of the game.
Otherwise, spend your coins on land expansion, and save all of your green cash (don't be tempted to spend it now, you'll kick yourself later).

New players should go for rocket launches rather than helicopter flights. That was my biggest regret when starting out. As regards runways, I would upgrade as soon as possible.

To be fair everything is expensive even when you get to the top levels. My next cheapest building upgrade is 3000000.
If it got too easy though, you probably wouldn't carry on playing

@marshimus you need to focus on:

• Land (which is on sale every 14 days, I think Friday it will be on sale)
• Green pad and MCC 1
• Send all your PPDs (38 passengers planes) to Cape Canaveral; you'll get coins and experience for every full collection
• Visit your neighbours religiously ( more specifically visit cottages for threadmill collection, training centers, cosmic fuel stations and MCCs 1 & 2)
• If you have jets (80 passengers planes) send them to North Observatory for blue pad collection
• Launch everyday religiously
• Once you have enough coins for a blue pad, upgrade the MCC to level 2 and buy a blue pad then launch everyday religiously... And enjoy!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can't remember all those new plane names. I like your system - the 38 passenger plane, the 80 passenger plane, etc.

New player's guide - do's and dont's

EDIT: I update this list when other players suggest corrections or provide tips. If you find an error please post below so I can fix it. Thanks. I'm a relative new player so some of you veteran fliers will will want to make corrections to this list. I'm listing what I have learned though trial...

I almost survived on this guide for the first few weeks Some opinions may be a little extreme, and some content are no longer relevant (runways & hangars), but overall a great help.

The most important thing to note is, do not spend green notes on land upgrades until coins are no longer an option. I know coins get expensive, but there hits a point when you can't use coins anymore. You can always make more coins without spending real money, you are very limited with how much green cash you can make without spending real money.

I intend to be a f2p player, don’t want to spend anything really! No challenge in spending money!

 

[marshimus]

Hmm so I built the MCC although require Video Wall but now I realise I need to prioritise land expansion in order to build more solar power and then build green launch pad ...

Coal power stations represent the best electricity per square, and unlock at L20 (I think). They cost 8,000 coins - it may be worth buying the cheap 100 coin power plants until you unlock these, as an inbetween step which you can sell afterwards.

True but... even on my tiny supports, I tried as much as I could, but patience has its limits. So, no, I didn’t buy the last buyable-with-coins expansions using coins, I did use some greens. No regrets.

I did too. If I didnt, I’d probably be too frustrated to continue. I used the coins for upgrading other stuffs (like CT/Terminal/RedPad+MCC3). All of them needs tons of money that is really hard to get for lower level players.

No regret for me either.

It’s possible, but you must have lots of patience.
I managed not to spend a dime until around level 65 or 70 if I remember correctly. Afterwards, as I was really enjoying the game, and land expansion is really expensive, I decided to set up a monthly budget and stick to it no matter what. It helped me, as I was able to buy greenies on sale, and spend them the following week on the land sale.

If you're focusing on getting gold build as many car dealership as you can. It yields gold like every 15 mins. For land expansion, wait for the bi-monthly promotions. Every Friday there will be a Bank Sale (you can buy greenies with 300% bonus) and Land Expansion (half price) alternatively.
