Dear Flyers

I'm looking to increase my plunder income rate from maximum 12 neighbour game site visits per day. I'm currently earning myself around 20,000k coins, from about 18 chests, which all come from the following buildings and structures:

Green, Blue and Red Launcher Pads, Planitariums, Training Centre's, Mission Control Centre's (L3), Research Labs and Astronaut Acadamy's.

I would be very pleased to know if there are any other buildings and/or structures that I could visit which would increase my income beyond what I'm currently earning.

Regards

Captain WH Rollins

Think you have them there. Planetariums, MCC and red launchers are the best. On my neighbour list I note who has red launchers or planetariums, and how many so I can prioritise them - except when chasing elves or UFO's!

 

[Rainer]

I thank you very much for all the gifts.

I wish you all a nice weekend.

 

[Deleted member 5399]

Gifts are out from both games. Cya!!

Now then - something going on with my gifting. Since the update ,y clock has reset in the early hours of the morning, and when I get up it is ready. One morning I was late, and the next it was still available first thing, not 24 hours later, so I know the time has remained constant. Because I gift rapidly before shooting off to work, I do my visiting in the evening. So yesterday morning I gifted around 6.20am, did my visiting in the evening, and then gifted again this morning as normal. Just gone to go visiting, and I have reached my daily limit and will have to wait 2.5 hours, to 10.30pm. Can't remember what the time was last night, but this is strange. Who knows in 2.5 hours, I maybe able to gift early??? Fingers crossed. Will let you know.

 

[Steve26]

Gifts sent.

Many thanks for those received . Will return tomorrow to those I couldn't get to.

OK - OFFICIALLY LOST THE PLOT. I AM GOING TO LOCK MYSELF UP BEFORE THEY COME TO TAKE ME AWAY!

Just remembered I woke early this morning, couldn't get back to sleep so I logged on and sent my gifts whilst waiting for the alarm. Earlier than yesterday so my reset seems to be a fixed time, not 24 hours after the last gifts, as it used to be. PANIC OVER - off to take my medication, no that's wrong I am not on any. Settle for a drink instead!

So there is a rhyme & reason on what to get/grab from neighbors?!?!? I just thought you got 1 fuel, 2 passengers and 2 coins (and odd occasional luxury items) depending on what type of building you click on.

 

[Aero Aereola]

Noob Q: I am currently land locked/maxed out for space with 4 turbo props and 1 jet. I am a server rack away from having my terminal officially upgraded to level 4. Since I don't have any room to build out (am collecting greenies and waiting for the next 1/2 price sale) what would be the best thing to upgrade? Tower, Repair Base or Town Hall to level 4? Reserve Hanger or Baggage Hall to level 2? Fuel Station to Level 3?

 

[Ten33go]

@Aero Aereola - It really depends on how you're playing, and what your plans are. If you are maxed out on land and space right now, you can start collecting those items that are required for the upgrades you want to do, thereby minimizing your build / open / use times.

Town halls are good to upgrade for population purposes. Even if you can't expand just yet, you can always increase your population for when you do expand.

Repair bases are another touchy matter. This one is definitely one of those cases that you want to gather ALL items necessary to open it immediately, otherwise, you'll find yourself with broken down planes and no way of fixing them until your repair base is open. It's also good to have one suited for the repair of the new planes you buy. Meaning don't buy a Delta, if you don't have the proper level repair base and have it open first.

Towers are good for the number of hangers / planes you can have. This one is really going to depend on whether you are just trying to gain levels, or you are going through each type of plane destination and becoming expert before moving on to the next level of planes and destinations. Again, if you don't have the room, you can prepare for when you do, or concentrate on more immediate things (Like Town hall and repair base upgrades) which may benefit you more.

Fuel stations - I wouldn't go past level 2. It's worthless, and time consuming getting the 6 of each item you need, because they also can't be gifted. Besides, if you're like most of us, you probably don't use anything more then the first 2 choices (3 units in 10 mins for $10, or 10 units in 60 mins for $80). If you're playing constantly, or for longer periods of time, the 10 minute version actually gives you more fuel for your buck, and quicker. For those times where you're not playing constantly or overnight, the 60 minute one is best to use for your next days flights.

Cosmic fuel station - I wouldn't bother. You don't need one. Believe me, you'll get plenty of Solid fuel from your launch boxes, and you can save the 2x2 space for something more important.

Baggage halls are very nice. They do speed up guest plane reloading. This also becomes more important the bigger the guest planes get. Jumbos and Giants take forever to reload / refuel. Baggage hall level 4 makes it tolerable, but they're still slow. You have anything less then level 4, you have enough time to make lunch (JK, but it does take a bit.)

As for the Reserve hanger, that's up to you. I haven't even used the one I have yet, and a lot of people are having difficulties with putting planes in, and getting them out. There's a thread in another part of the forum about that. Right now, I'd hold off on this one, but that's me.

Hope this gives you some ideas of what's best for you. And as I said, it depends on how you play, what your goals are and how quickly you want to achieve them. Good luck!

This is going to depend on what level you're at, what side challenges you get and again, what collections or items you are trying to obtain while visiting.

The next time you visit a neighbor and finish collecting, click on the buildings in that city. You'll see a menu (Much like the i button on flight destinations) that will tell you what each type of building will yield when clicked on. All items are part of a collection, which when obtained anywhere from 1-6 times, will be able to be used for bonuses, buildings, etc.

gifts are out for today
very little event items dropped so very little time spent on game.

Thanks Ten for the tips! Very much appreciated. I will focus on the Town Hall and Repair Base for now. I saw the output for Fuel Station beyond an hour and agree it just doesn't seem too useful. LOL - if I ever feel ambitious, I might do a spreadsheet to see what buildings give me the most cash or passengers for the time...

Thanks for your reply. I do the same thing on my list.

I blame the game for my mindset.
