So I started and airline in the Sandbox World S4 and It was 1991 it was from 1990-2010 and I was getting big but then another player came and tried overwriting me and he just started 5 days before He started when the game is almost over. He got more aircrafts than I do in just 4 days and 6 Hubs, it took me 12 real days to get to the same amount. I think he Hacked the game and got lots of those airplanes. There is no way that he is that rich in 4 days, I am in the Trillions and he is above me in everything! His airline name is Siegfried! I am mad. He is trying to take over my routes by trying to get me bankrupt. Can anyone explain how did he get so many things in 4 days?

Could be spamlines, could be skill. From your details, I will say that since it is Sandbox he must have bought a large amount of used aircraft, him trying to bankrupt you is just a part of the game.

Yup, I tried to bankrupt an airline which was in direct competition with me (me being the larger player) and that airline was bannkrupted in one day.

 

I spammed all routes he is flying and made sure that he does not get any pax, so that forced him out.

Skill, timing, & cunning tenacity. In all fairness to you, players like that shouldn't be the sandbox world. Anyone who gets there thrills by beating happless newbies is a bit of a tool. But it certainly happens in the other worlds. Coming into a world late in the game usually provides a large number of old, cheap planes in the used markets. You can join a well-established alliance which gives you access to large numbers of passengers, & then just dump all your cheap planes on the routes. You can make a lot of money very quickly.

Bit of an arrogant assertion. Just because a competitor appears to have 0% market share on the pie chart, doesn't mean he has no pax. The market share chart only measures the green pax. What about the blue ones? I win game worlds with 0% pax on all my routes according to the route pie charts.

 

How many game worlds have you won?

He just gain them to quick and he is trying to get me bankrupt but i am in the trillions so its almost impossible for him to get me down. He gain 2 hubs overnight and has a total of 6 hubs

I send him a letter saying to stop stealing my routes but he hasen't reply. I told him that if you keep stealing my routes and gets my aircraft profit in the red that I will try to add even more planes to the route until hes is gone!

Well done; I think you're starting to understand the meaning of "competition".

That's all there really is to it. I've had nearly six airlines competing with me on a route from IAD to EWR which were two of my biggest hubs at the time in that world, and I was going negative about 60,000 dollars on 4x daily 717 flights. Then out of nowhere, this airline called Trump air (obviously a troll) comes in the route and drops 2x a320s for half the price of what everyone else was charging. At that point I was already losing about 100,000$ so I charged about 10$ economy and put 20x 738s and in about two days real time 4 of the airlines were out and the other two removed some flights, and that's when I raised the price again.

It's annoying but it's a simple fix.
