Why are we only getting like 25 buxs on global events? The sea knight is awesome. I really want to have the concorde. Does sea knight coming in another events?

I have a feeling Nimblebit is trying to see what things they can do to effect participation, probably primarily because we've been so dominating. Maybe they're hoping that after doing a bunch of really low reward/pain in the butt events that the Toucharcade team will break up and people in the crew will go off to crew with more personal friends.

So far they've rotated between bux rewards and aircraft rewards. Additionally they probably reduced the bux rewards due to just how many of us are in the 1st place group and how easy it is to earn bux in the game, especially later on.

Yeah it is very easy to earn bucks in this game.

I'm only level 18 and I'm earning at least 150 a day.

I loved my sequoias. I had 8 of them doing the NY <---> Shanghai route for about a week. Just today I cycled the last one out replaced with Cyclones. A fully range upgraded cyclone can go NY to Istanbul, so I can cut out London/Paris and make the route far more straight.

Now I just need to build coins to put my second route in for my 4 unbuilt cloudliners! Going to need like 10mil coins probably when all is said and done :|

What planes are people using for layovers? I'm using Kangaroos at the minute.

My best planes are Aeroeagles though, I guess the Aeroeagles themselves become good feeder planes once your fleet is full of class three planes?

I would agree the size and dominance of the toucharcade crew has to be concerning for nimblebit. If toucharcades dominance continues everyone will be joining and there will be one crew and since everyone that does 5 jobs in a crew gets the base reward that is a ton of bux being put out into the game. I am sure nimblebit would like more competition between crews and more of a variance in who wins. Not just one crew with a different member winning each event. I also imagine rare plane parts are not so rare when toucharcade wins. Look at the number of members. Nimblebit is likely looking at ways to balance things out.
