Why do people run maps with s3's?

Why do people run maps with s3's?

It is a short way of saying - Flying to alliance destinations to get the reward of an S3 plane.

 

[Jackattack]

Ohhhhhhhh. When you said S3 map runers I thought that you flew it with an s3 plane.

That’s over 50,000 passengers......what methods do you use to prepare ? Bonuses, visa center ?

Best for collecting that many passengers are Visa centers. Bonuses like family ticket and alarm clock are handy too.

As @A350 says I used a visa center in my magic square and collected 36k of the passengers earlier in the week running a 1 hour contract. The remaining passengers were collected when I was doing the run using my magic square. I could have collected more than double that if I had used a Family Ticket bonus, but I only had 100 Attitude Indicators in my warehouse plus 5 in my gift box so that was my limiting factor. The fuel required came from my gifts mostly and my fuel barrels collected through space flights in my warehouse.

Thanks for the response, that helps a lot to understand the resources I need to put together. Fuel I have, passengers are the problem since I am still working on acquiring max visa centers

I think you only need one in your magic square. A one hour visa contract costs 10 silver and it takes me about 30 mins to move all my passenger buildings into it one by one. A very cheap and reliable way to get the passenger numbers required for the map runs using the bigger plane.

A tip, number of VC’s is fairly insignificant in terms of what you can collect/store. The main winner is your bonus square. Team your VC’s with the buildings that produce most frequently, and keep one VC spare, or swap it in & out of you square as you move buildings. A fairly basic square (e.g. with items readily available for a few hundred coins) should give around 80-100% bonus. Team that with event rewards, heli buildings, purchased squares (mid week sales) and you can see 200, 300, 400% + before applying family ticket and/or alarm clock.

Feel free to look at my city, or anyone that has posted here as I’m sure we all have variations on the same setup.
