For some reason, early in my main game I closed my Hub and returned my unused gates and then began an expansion that was just leasing gates as I needed them. At first I thought I'd screwed up, but then I came across a post somewhere that said that that was the best thing to do early on.
Now I've leased out Indy and I'm looking into building a Terminal so I can continue expanding but I have a few questions.
Firstly, what are the benefits to a Hub? aside from the 25 gate limit as opposed to just 10. If Lease costs for a hub are twice the normal price, that alone seems to make a hub financially irresponsible.
Secondly, If i build a terminal with, say, 25 gates. Minus the 10 that will be filled right away, that leaves 15 unused gates. I would assume I have lease to them, but can I return them? and if so, are they available to only me, or do they go on the market to whomever wishes to lease them?
I'll probably have more once someone answers, but for now I'll leave it at this.
Thanks!
