Overview of civilian passenger transport systems
Airline simulator 2016 is here: the original post was just a joke, it's 2017. You'll need two things—a ship and a license. The ship can be any vessel with an empty seat, maybe even a Super Hornet, while the license is secured through local authorities. Its cost varies based on traffic at the landing zone and may not be as long-lasting or reliable as others, depending on your standing. Once you have both, land on a public pad, link to the local Flight Schedule Computer, input your destination, departure time, estimated arrival, and price for each class. After publishing an offer, you can adjust the price but not the destination, departure, or arrival time without canceling the whole trip—though those who bought tickets before may not be pleased. The computer also displays destination popularity and how many tickets you've sold. When your ship is ready (or you miss the window), it's time to manage passengers. The effort varies by class: Coach is straightforward, Business Class demands a skilled pilot and attentive staff, First Class needs top-notch service, and Luxury Class requires exceptional care. Ignoring basic needs like food, comfort, or safety will lead to dissatisfaction—even with a bulletproof pilot. You must handle the Information, Communication, and Entertainment System (ICES), the Mixmaster, and medical care. ICES issues can arise from interference, audio glitches, server crashes, or faulty equipment. The Mixmaster demands precise mixing, and technical failures can occur. Regular maintenance is essential; cheap gear may break or cables may fray. The biggest challenge? Poor-quality movies. You must purchase and maintain popular content. Mixing drinks is a skill—mistakes mean disappointment, so you must decide whether to fix it or send the customer along. High-end passengers also assess drink quality, so you must ensure consistency. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the clock; missing your cue risks losing customers to competitors. And remember—if you forget to bring your Gargle Blaster in time, someone will post a scathing review. But there’s always a fix. You and most of your passengers made it through. Now you can send them a clear signal to disembark, or send them away—time is money. Now you're ready for the next flight. TL;DW AtV 51 will be back later today. I just wanted this covered first.
I plan to stay out of the fray, except for mixing drinks or being a passenger if possible. Let me handle the repairs, ship upkeep, and engineering tasks. I’m still weighing whether to take on this project but am a bit worried about the expense. Who else has taken the plunge in owning something like this?
I’d consider purchasing one, though I have other priorities that seem more worthwhile. Even though I enjoy SC, I doubt they’ll notice my investment. For now, I’m thinking about using it as troop transport for Operation Monarch.
It seems you're interested in private security training involving transport operations. I understand there are military adaptations and you're considering using multiple vessels for different missions—larger ships for bulk movement and smaller ones for precision tasks. You're also thinking about running scout, electronic warfare, and repair roles. I’d be happy to assist with planning or discussing logistics for such a setup.
I’d opt for the bigger vessels during the second or third wave of reinforcements when it’s safer for them to move. But honestly, the idea of civilian operations feels a bit dull to me. If those “jetpacks” perform well, they’d make excellent ships for jumping from
Imagine a scenario where you wear a costume like Dr. Octo, complete with eight mechanical limbs and thrusters, all controlled by an EVA suit. I’d really enjoy seeing an alien civilization that employs drones akin to the sentinels in The Matrix—swarming around ships and attempting to destroy them. Or picture them breaking through the hull like the crew members in the constellation trying to remove them from the ship.
The Starliner features robust shielding, making your Cutlass insufficient (just a joke) but the Void bomber you intend to get should offer enough value to persuade passengers to spend more on their journey :lol.
