Thoughts on the Starship? Such a rare plane but it really only hurts you! The ONLY way I've found to make a profit is London/Paris which only nets a $111 profit. Everything else loses money, and loses HUGE over long distances. Shouldn't long distance be the allure of using it?

It is a starship, fuel is not cheap. It is designed to be a fast VIP/Event plane for people that care about speed over profit. On the other end of the spectrum it is imposible to loose coins using the hot air ballon, it might just take a couple hours to get there.

You could work my sequoias only plan with Cyclones, I'm sure. I don't know about using cloudliners though, I don't think there would ever be enough guys to fill up the 17 slots on the cloudliner in one of the outside cities... Sometimes I can't make the Sequoia's 10 due to the 5/5 split on the Ms. It doesn't hurt so much on the Sequoia because it's dirt cheap to fly, but on the Cloudliner I can see those costs adding up ~real~ fast.

Hi NimbleTim,
Will the next update add some useful features im the plane loading/unloading area?
I'd really like to have an "Unload all" button for my feeder planes, it's a bit boring to scroll through all the bitizens in a fully upgraded class 3 airport to unload diverse destinations.
And maybe sthg to load everybody/cargo to a specific place at once?
Just saying with Cloudliners it's becoming very long to do this!
Great game

Tap and hold an unload button will unload all. Tap and hold a load button and it will auto load items that want to go to the same destination from that point in the list (it will loop around when it hits the end).

Hello NimbleTim,
Are you adding any new planes with the next update?

Nimbletim, when will our next special plane event be? I need sequoias and get most of my trading items from mystery parts.
