i know – there is „only“ 1 Week left but can you tell us more about the management/Tycoon Part? In the videos we can see, that you earn a lot of money/Hour, but that’s only for testing right? Now i hope it’s balanced – so in case of dismanagement you can go bankrupt? I’m a Fan of simulation but I love to manage my success. Starting with a very small airport, earn money, increase your rating get better contracts… all the stuff – guys, is this possible?
Hey there, i’m obviously not the developer, but perhaps i could shed some light on this?
Since this is an early access title, balancing is not the top priority
Any very bad balancing issues will no doubt be reported by the testers, but that doesn’t mean it will be perfect on release.
I don’t think bankruptcy is in yet, so after initial release a player will not be ‘punished’ . Then again, when you are in the red, you can’t build anything, so unless the player does something (take out a loan), he will inevitably be left with a nonviable airport.
As i said in another topic yesterday, when you start a game you can choose how hard you want to make it on yourself.
You can start Easy, which gives you enough money to get started with medium stands and commercial flights right off the bat.
Or you can start Extreme, which gives you just enough to get a small stand in for some GA, and you have to start saving to build your airport up.
And i believe some settings in between.
I’m not sure, but afaik, the reputation system isn’t really fleshed out yet. This means you would probably get bigger contracts than you ‘deserve’ right now.
I have a strong suspicion, but i don’t know for certain, no
But as said before, this is early access. There is the beginnings of a reputation system, so that makes me believe they will flesh it out. Just a matter of when
