Ok, I finally managed to get this game. Why, why did I have to download it at lunch? I spent an hour playing, now I'm itching to pick up my phone. Just one more run, I say to myself.

Yep, just as addicting as I thought it would be.

Ok, couple of questions that I'm sure have been answered before but...

I've got the Android version of the game. Can I still trade parts with goons? If so, where do I add people?

If I want to participate in an event, do I need to open the airport where the event is taking place? I seem remember reading in the thread when it first started that event airports were open for free, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

You can trade parts with other goons who are on Android, assuming your mobage name is also squidflakes go into the mobage settings (should be a blue icon in the top right) and accept the friend request from Kmbanana and I'll send you some free starter plane parts. You can check the current event under flight crew, currently it's in Melbourne Australia so you could open that airport + Sydney and shuttle people back and forth. You need 50 event deliveries to get the prize. Make sure you joined the flight crew first though.

A bit off-topic, but Nimblebit, y'all have been talking up using Futile with Nimble Quest a bunch--what did you use for like, Pocket Planes and Tiny Tower? Are they just straight Obj-C code, and that's why the Android porting is so hard and at times buggy (as opposed to Unity, which handles it for you)?

We used cocos2d for those.

Did you switch to Unity because it's easier/better, or just because targeting multiple platforms becomes a cinch?

Both. Unity but really c# and Futile have been great and seems to have sped up development a little.

I've been pouring supplies and sailors in to Melbourne all day, but I fear we won't get our Sea Kings.

So, at what point should you start getting rid of grey dot airports? I bought my first red dot today (Mexico City, it was cheap) but I've got a couple of grey cities that are pretty reliable for pumping out the jobs.

You can start phasing out the grey airports really early, as long as you aren't using them as a hop between your bigger ones. Blues and reds give more jobs and receive more jobs. Also airports start getting comparatively cheap compared to unlocking more plane slots pretty quickly.

There's not that much of a gap between us and #10, only 600 jobs or so.

I'm not bothered with the current mission, bux are nice but I think I'll concentrate on just raising cah for another plane slot, unless the next one is somewhere I own.

I just got my first PearJet and I'm trying to gear up to feed it with cargo from other cities.

What's the better way of doing this? Do I pick up cargo headed for the West Coast and drop it off in New York, have the PearJet pick that up, bring it back to LA, then have the smaller planes take all of the Seattle stuff or all of the San Francisco stuff, then bring back things for the East Coast, or should I be feeding only cargo that is bound for Los Angeles?

I guess the simple way of putting this would be do I expect to make money with my long haul jets or with my feeder planes?

Feeders, because those are the ones you can guarantee +25% single-destination bonuses for on the final delivery leg.

In the stats, my long haul jets all average about -200 coins but my feeders are all +20000 range.

The accumulated filth of all the dog poop and hairballs will foam up about their waists and all the catladies and dog crazies will look up and shout "Save us!"
... and I'll look down and whisper
"No."


I don't know why but I'm having some trouble with this game, I've recently gotten a new phone and reinstalled it after I stopped playing it for a few months, and now I reinstalled it but feel like starting from scratch. But every time I press the reset game button, after the tutorial it always gives me a "We're sorry but something went wrong when saving your data, we will proceed to restart the game" and it goes back to my previous save file. How do I fix this?


EDIT: Playing this on Android, by the way.

is the C-130 worth it to fly? I know that flight cost is based on weight ant at 10 tons I'm wondering if I'll loose my shirt by flying it, the same way I did with the starship.

The C-130 is nowhere near as money hungry as the Starship, it's slower and can carry triple the cargo. I got one just after I restarted on Android and it's been great moving things from LA to NYC for feeders

I'll give this a try, looks like it's time to stop upgrading airports and save for another plane slot.

It helps that New York is probably a hub or feeder city for most people, instead of some 0.0m airport in the middle of nowhere.

I have 2 Herc bodies and a controls if anyone needs them. Anyone got a spare Blimp body or Sea Knight engine? I some how managed to get 2 parts missions from the last event. Usually I get one every few events so that was nice. Gotta say though I HATE the single cargo events, it takes out half the fleet.
