Use of own planes from reserve hangar

[Jejevb]

I'd like to make a proposition about planes that are sitting in the reserve hangar unused.
I think it would be very very convenient to all players to be able to use them as well as the active planes.
Advantages:
1. While your own planes are on an alliance mission, the reserve planes than could use the empty stands to make other flights to fly to destinations to pick up resources for alliance task that you're short off.
2. Make flights for an event.
3. Make flights to recover your warehouse.

Why not scrap the reserve hangar and make more stands? And give us all 50 greenies while they’re at It?

I don’t understand your proposal
if you’re using planes, they will be active....

 

[Maverick68]

I think, essentially, they're suggesting undoing the 1:1 binding of plane to stand. So, say have 30 planes in total then can have all 30 in flight with fewer stands, say only 14.
Then, when all 30 planes land you have a mess - like a real airport 😁
I don't think G! wants this..

 

[Ddave1]

So while all 14 planes on stands are out, you can then use your remaining planes that you have in reserve as soon as one of the stands is free,

Yeah I would like that idea, still keeping a limit on total planes otherwise you could just get unlimited condors for example

With GI trying to balance the game, this will not happen.
"Old" players, who will have more planes in reserve hangar will be able to do many more flights than "new" players.
This would mean (again) that if you are spending more real money in the game, you get advantage over others.
This is legalizing the "guest plane" bug they made impossible when v8 came out. I do not like this idea.

...nor do we. Certainly don't want the game to have an increased chance of crashing

I see why you would want to allow more flights for the unused stands, but it would be a gaming nightmare if all those flights returned at once. Maybe you simply want more stands to use all your planes instead of having a reserve hangar.

Now a very different and useful suggestion would be to be able to warehouse (not RH) your planes... perhaps by creating a long-term reserve hangar (LTRH). Even having to pay for putting planes there and/or having a minimum period for staying there...
with planes in that LTRH not counting for alliance missions

I think it would add to the flight management, how to prioritise which ones to dock first.

I can see why some wouldn’t like it but personally I think it would be great, and also make the stands capable of only accepting certain types of aircraft, more ways to add to the management of your fleet.

I like the idea, and it would make the subscription(s) more worthwhile. However it’ll create a massive delta between those with lots of RH slots and those without.

Lets see what G! have in store with the alliance rank shake up...

I could go for this. If I read correctly, you are suggesting to do the same for planes, as we currently do for buildings. Pay coins to put them into the warehouse when not needed and pull them back out when you do need them.

On second thought, I don’t think it would work well in the manner described.
It would completely change the purpose of the RH. It would no longer be there to store other expensive planes/S planes and manipulate alliance tasks. In most cases, players would then be looking to maximise passenger numbers and fuel efficiency.

I would like to see a method of increasing the number of planes we can fly concurrently though, it would be interesting if this was done without increasing the number of stands too. I think the RH serves an important function as is though.

Thereby bypassing the RH and G$ missing out on greenies spent for upgrading\expanding of the RH? Um... 🤔
Else, they might likely charge greenie(s) for placing\retrieving via the warehouse versus coins as for buildings which could be even more costly over time versus just upgrading\expanding the RH.

not necessarily. it could be restricted to rh4 ou rh5 owners... or some other condition.
my main concern is managing weekly tasks and as it seems they're thinking about changes in alliances, the way weekly alliances tasks are defined now may change, and the need to such a structure may disappear

I would gladly take this as an alternate option, and would invest in this instead of a reserve hangar.

But the RH doesnt manipulate alliance tasks...unless you know something I dont...tell me you know something....please 😅

What I mean by that, is often I will buy a lot of one plane type to manipulate task 3, but realistically most of the planes will never fly, just live in the RH.
Since I have 5 Condors, TBirds and Falcons, I’ll need 6 of a given plane for 3rd task...

And it shouldnt be that way. If theyre going to give us special alliance destinations for each airplane type, at least give us way to access them at will without having to buy aircraft we dont need. Im hopeful with the shakeup though.
