pete, if you get a starship body I will send you the controls and engine so you can build a starship

Have you been able to make a profit on a starship flight?

no, they suck. I even upgraded all the weight to max. I like looking at it and flying a long way but it appears to be primarily for show. The Sea Knight I got from the Philly event is amazing though. really short distance but holds 5 and is very efficient. I just use it to shuttle people from Paris to London and back.

Everyone needs to be sure to enter their flight crew of "goEMAW". If you do this, and even deliver just a single person/cargo to San Diego, you'll be eligible for a prize, and SD/Saul,Dubs and others are crushing it right now.

OMG, mystery part! This is a big day.

Saulbadguy · « **Reply #2831 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:51:33 AM »

I've got a starship body if anyone needs that.

I'm moving away from the M planes. I always get screwed, 1 less of whatever I need. A good mixture of passenger/cargo planes in my fleet seems to be less frustrating.

steve dave · « **Reply #2833 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:57:40 AM »

yes, I abandoned M's awhile back too.

protip: if you have LA and SD airports for this event, don't stop your airvans or whatever in SD. just load them in LA and round trip them back to LA when you send them off. that way they are ready to load again the next time you pick up your phone. it only costs $30 to fly an airvan from SD to LA and you usually don't get much to bring back to LA anyway.

That is a great tip. However, I have been loading new yorkers up in SD and hauling them back to LA, but my pipline is All of Asia/Africa > London > New York > LA > SD. So, getting new yorkers in LA helps offset the cost of the return trip from LA to NYC.

Also, I am a fan of the Kangaroo for the class one planes. Four seater and all.

I've been picking up whatever is in SD and taking it back to LA for my pearjets/equinoxes to distribute. Usually there is always something there unless i'm watching my phone at all times.

Ya, they are relatively fast. Good for the SD to LA flight, actually.
