ability to repair plane while in-flight

[wide hare]

i can safely land most of the time if i overspeed during a job, however i need to end flight to be able to repair my plane. since refueling already does this, why not maintenance?

[ivory sonnet]

job chaining:

[lucid abyss]

it might be nice to know what condition the aircraft is, but to repair it whilst on a giant job chain? thats overpowered

[worldly verge]

Marking as Denied for now, because it's the only thing acting as a limitation to chaning right now

[torpid roost]

make hypermach great again

[crude stirrup]

imagine the 35s old times be like

[rich tree]

Job chaining here we go!

[cloud wedge]

This^

[wheat sun]

i'd say maybe minor maintenance

equal to or less than what you can do using cash

or maybe

make the repairs last long

[red rover]

job chaining les go

[devout shell]

let put it this way:
can you change your tires without stopping in the middle of road

[red rover]

"replacing the wing with a new one on flight rn"

[wide hare]

i didnt say you could fix your plane mid air i said mid flight

airports have maintenance hangars

[devout shell]

a maintainance takes a long time to complete

[wide hare]

its a game, refueling doesnt take 10 seconds

eventually this will be a thing when job chaining gets more limited in the future

[red rover]

the repair hangar is in trello before your suggestion, the idea is, it will cancel the jobchain if you repair

[wide hare]

at least engine fixing would be nice, i mean when you respawn the plane they work again

[wheat sun]

that kinda goes against the entire purpose of in-flight repair

again i say add in-flight repairing

but make it take time

[cloud wedge]

They should just give you like 3 or so repairs per chain

Sorta like the new need for speed games give you 3 repairs per outing

[ivory sonnet]

nuh uh

[uncut basin]

smh, I can't abuse the repair system no more

[vagrant geode]

You can’t chain half of all cars worth in single ride with those

Here you can

So no

[red rover]

well, for me, it's goal was not to make jobchain have advantage on it

[vagrant geode]

What about repairing in-flight but resetting chain?

So like I can repair it for free flights or recon/survey kind of stuff but no for chained job

Or at least any way to see my status in-flight so I would know how much left

So exploded engines wouldn’t be surprising for me

[red rover]

I can see other gud uses, like you've experienced an engine explosion during a job and an landed on some airport, giving you a chance to finish your last jobchain streak

[vagrant geode]

Technically not feasible atm

If engines exploded you need respawn aircraft

[red rover]

yea, bit aware of that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but it be nice if maintenance hangars are able to do that

if it gets in aero eventually

[vagrant geode]

You can’t irl fly after exploded engines

So it makes sense

You need capital repair for that

[red rover]

ah oof

[worldly verge]

I think it could work, but it's been discussed before and for some reason didn't takeoff

[red rover]

make repairs more expensive than the main menu?

[cloud wedge]

no, but you can go through a speed trap and make 2 million in 5 mins

[vagrant geode]

If it’s your first try

I played Unbound and mained Heat Ik how it goes

[cloud wedge]

No it’s a really dumb glitch i forgot exactly how it goes but It basically duplicates any vehicle you buy

[vagrant geode]

Oh, didn’t knew that

Looks like another Unbound shenanigans

[cloud wedge]

I’m pretty sure u can buy a vehicle, do a speed trap, and then u get all ur money back

[vagrant geode]

Didn’t played it a lot so

[cloud wedge]

but there’s setup

Ye it was in heat

I think the repairs could be a novel idea but it should not apply to SSTs

and there should be a limit as to how many per flight, like maybe just one

[red rover]

it should if it cancels jobchains

[cloud wedge]

It should apply only to jet engines and below because SSTs already make way more WP than any other aircraft type and can fly way longer distances before blowing an engine, so giving slower vehicles the ability to repair once or twice per chain will make them more viable

Plus new players probably aren’t dedicated enough to fly long enough to require a repair in a chain anyways

although the infrastructure required to impliment this would be too great

[red rover]

it should if it cancels jobchain

[cloud wedge]

well yeah of course then but there’s no point to repair outside of airport if ur cancelling the chain

why even add in the first place

[red rover]

Just a meme idea for the maintenance hangar

[cloud wedge]
