My suggestion is two fold.

If airlines empires was to correct the new aircraft delivery problems and revert back to the original way of only 2 new aircraft being delivered in any one month this will sove.

The problem in gate shortage as we do see many post in the forum asking for gates, now if there was only 2 new aircraft deliveires a month there would be ample gates. plus new starting airlines whould also be able to compete.

Fix one problem airline empires and you solve another, quite simple.

It's a completely seperate issue. And the problem with the number of gates, well... it's been talked to death. If the number of gates were at the original levels (same number as start of the last three rounds), then it wouldn't be an issue. It's not like there are double the number of active airlines this round as the last few rounds to take all the gates away so quickly. The lack of gates has only brought up other issus like gate whoring and multiple airlines set up purely to hold gates.

not exactly why this was suggested so if we can annalyse it more in detail it may be helpful in making this game accessable to all who wish to play it.

In past resets there was a system in place to ensure that the new aircraft was delivered in a max of only 2 per airline empire month, This from reading the forum was stoped as there was our former player nathaniel who liked to scew up a game all because he wanted to be noticed, this was the large script bug and one of his many airline accounts of WINGZ that made the delivery system change. Before this nathaniel bug attack the game grew at a nice steady pace (Agree)?

Nathaniel then attacked the gates making players have gates appear and disappear this was mainly in yyz and any place the players like air kevin and jazz now vertigo. Then he also made ghost aircraft move from one players account to others.

Before that nathaniel also attacked the pricing script, making all values $160 and lots more that we read in the forum, so our most famous player who was not able to get his own way was removed only to resurface under another name because he is deprived of his fun.

Miller22 made a temporary fix to the new aircraft delivery but it was not back to the old as the script was so corrupted that it would have to be a whole new entry to make it right. The gates also become corrupted and this was also made right to a fashion and the lists go on.

The new administrator torquewrench made changes to again fix the delivery system as if you recall orders was not given when placed, he also made the gates return to non-negitive values and we now read that because of the bugs in listing aircraft was another attack on the game by our friend and torquewrench is writing the used and new aircraft script from ground up.

We read that time is important to make the bugs go away as many scritps must be done again but this game has in the last 3 resets changed a lot, not the format but the delivery gates and speed of this game. Touquewrench and Miller22 made the game server faster so at changovers we do not have that long wait plus over the past week it has been down only once because of the isp not the server so all these changes are making the game faster to see and play.

We as players know that it is important to have new players enter the game, it makes it interesting and fun to read forum posts other than the old ones. We know that there is many upset players who are new just can not get up the rankings because of no gates. We also read old players have complaining of no gates.

My original post was to say that if you SLOW the game down in making it longer to receive new aircraft, back to the old 2 per month, the gates will go slower the speed and the growth of players will take longer and it will become more a fair game for all players be new or old.

drv4truk, you have been in airline empires from the start, the understanding of the best routes and the format of how this game operates you know and so do many other players, all I want to see is the new players given time to find their feet in this game and my suggection will do just this.

why 2 per month?

WN has gotten 7 in one month at times?

The old way of 2 per month was extremly unrealistic and just not needed.

[drv4truk]

The old way was fine. You could get two aircraft delivered from each manufacturer per month. So you could get more then two aircraft at a time. It did slow growth somewhat. I could care less about brokers, but they could have a problem with the two per month system back.

The big issue is that gate numbers were increased initially for gate restricted airports and then gates were taken from all airports. Sometime between when the gate levels were increased and then taken away, one-way routes stopped working.
