#Make the 787-8 Delivery Job More Commonly Available

To Start, Why should it be more commonly available?

  • The people who would benefit the most from doing this job are easily new players who need a plane after acquiring the jet engine license and having spent enough time on a narrow-body such as the 737. They likely are not getting to do this as it is so infrequently available that the ways to get around it are either continuously server-hopping, or just waiting for it to randomly pop up, which takes hours that most people do not have.

  • At the moment, the 787-8 serves as as an item traders can sell for high value, in a litany of items they can sell for a high value, such as the Kanamoris or rare craftables such as the SR-71 Blackbird. Unlike the Kanamoris, the 787-8 is available outside of events, and requires a lot of effort to acquire, like a craftable plane. However, unlike craftables, the -8 has no “perk” that makes it “unique” (Antonov A-40) or “better” (Dreamlifter). It isn’t even like a fighter jet, where it’s a leisure item with niche jobs that can provide fun, because there are other planes that outperform the -8 and are easier to get.

  • It makes very little sense to have the -8 be so rare when the rest of the 787 family is easier to acquire. Players specifically looking for a 787-8 have to put up with a lot of hurdles or alternatively have to pay a disproportionate amount of money for it, which isn’t in line with the rest of the 787s, let alone airliners in the game.

  • Other jobs of this rarity at the very least have a HUGE WP reward compared to the -8, or are far more time consuming like surveillance.

How common should the job be?
I believe it should be as common as the Airshow jobs commonly available across a variety of cities, since both are region-specific and are best suited for a select few types of games. You can debate me on that though

Imo, it really isn't all that rare in the grand scheme of things

desert gust

#

Its still far easier to find than some rare dealer aircraft

desert gust

#

Now the plane in question is a bit unrewarding for the rarity, but its still not nearly as bad as it could be

#

A 2% chance that everyone can benefit from with a chatwide notif and a dedicated fanbase willing to share server codes is far better than praying to God you find a 2707 in stock

desert gust
#

the only people who benefit from this are traders, who ALREADY BENEFIT from LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE Skrolled3

rotund socket
#

ignoring the rapidly growing number of collectors who did the jobs themselves

desert gust
desert gust
#

they are a niche group compared to the wider group that benefits from using the -8

plus they’d have a good chunk of UP after finishing up with a jet engine license, and at that point I wouldn’t call them “new” much

does that work with you?

#

Getting to SST license is barely enough UP for a 2707/L2K Dunno

#

Anyways, back to the original topic, if its too much of a pain then just trade or wait, its literally just fancy dealer hunting or less annoying crate hunting

#

that’s my point

#

you’re doing something so time consuming for what is disproportionately less useful

#

yk at least a blackbird is useful and is worth waiting for, or like even the Antonov A-40 being a fun thing to mess around with

it only took me like 5 to 10 minutes to find it

#

788 being the center of the new job could be questioned, but making the job more common kinda flies in the face of the new mechanic imo

noble berry
#

I've spent hours server hopping and waiting for a 787-8 job and it still hasn't happened

#

So I aggree with Aldin

desert gust
#

you already have delivery jobs for other less common planes

desert gust
rotund socket
#

Job events get overlooked, this gives people more reason to pay attention, plus its something new to the table (which is a general theme with this update)

#

Plus, this is just another Boeing, its really just for collectors and fanboys

#

If you really want an airliner to grind with, 787-9 is sold at the exact same airport iirc

desert gust
#

like we already have something that makes it for “collectors and fanboys” as you put it

Crates are moreso for experimental or high end aircraft

Airliner variants are usually converts, crates are a completely different niche and dealer's already the standard

hearty flower
#

just wait for the prices to die down if theyre that high

desert gust
desert gust
#

they ARE, that high

rotund socket
#

This gives a new way to collect airliners so people actually have smth to do to unlock all airliners

dude crate hunting is more tedious than sitting around waiting for a job to show up

i literally just said to wait for prices to die down

#

This plane is already proving to be far more common and far easier to get than various crate planes (including dogshit ones)

desert gust
#

and even still, it won’t cost a fortune

rotund socket
#

And as said earlier, this is a far easier method than crate hunting

desert gust
#

wait a fucking minute

rotund socket
#

Far less tedious too, since you can't get duplicate parts

hearty flower
#

i think you just have bad luck bro

#

just join the alerts server

#

wait for a ping

rotund socket
#

Its literally just wait for a text in chat or a message from players in this server and flock to Lynwood

vernal trench
#

well we can't rely on others all the time can we

rotund socket
#

Nearly every single crate plane released has been far worse to get within the first few days than this

# hearty flower wait for a ping

ok one sec so I looked up your username and you have like 900-1000 messages in the trade den, and the last message was 4 days ago. I’d say you’re decently active in trading

vernal trench
#

what about the future

hearty flower
#

and the game is a player driven economy

noble berry
#

I have spent hours in this game for a non existent job. I would much rather buy it from a dealership than wait hours for a job and just fly it already

hearty flower
#

relying on others is the point

desert gust
#

you’re literally the only group that benefits from it being this rare

#

get out of here

hearty flower
#

i barely actually trade

i only got a 787-8 and i intend to let it collect dust in my hangar

All somewhat rare vehicles are hella overpriced shortly after update

Regardless how they're obtained

hearty flower
rotund socket
#

Period

desert gust
#

the only people putting up with this nonsense are traders and collectors, both who never use the plane or make a quick buck off of it more so than anything

hearty flower
#

i didnt even say i was gonna sell it you just said you wanted one and i offered

#

it wasnt even serious it was a joke offer

rotund socket
#

Prices will drop soon, and theres a good chance you'll find the job or a server code to one within the week if you don't vanish from the game

vernal trench
#

swap the 788 with the 78X for delivery jobs trolley

hearty flower
#

i didnt need them to get a 787-8

rotund socket
#

The difference between them all is negligible, so if yer here to grind then literally just buy any other airliner

noble berry
#

your missing the point with that statement lmao

desert gust

I don't grind, I just want myself a -8

the best grinding planes are expensive

hearty flower

ships are expensive and require a lot of afking

#

I'm literally just saying that if yer trying to get a grinding plane, go with a more accessible plane lmao, the airliners function about the same

if the 787-8 job was more common then the collectors and traders would get even more

#

I have to wait for that 2% chance unlike with UP

#

So you don't grind. the only thing close to grinding is waiting for a job contract to open.

desert gust
#

a group that doesn’t need it has access to it most, and the group that needs it has access to it least

gloomy ether
# desert gust at least I can get AROUND THE 0.1%

There’s usually 10 servers at a time with a refresh once every 10 or so minutes
that would mean there is a 20% chance for at least one special delivery job to spawn in at least one server
And as more delivery jobs get added, the chance for at least one delivery job to spawn will only increase

vernal trench
#

the 788 is a typical airliner which has no business being THIS rare
yellow rarity is better

Which makes sense

Because both of them have their own individual probability

How is this hard to comprehend
The event becomes 2x more likely because it is being done twice

gloomy ether

#

you have 12 sides this time, not 6

#

and you want 2 specific sides

#

that’s 2/12

which is 1/6

NOT BOTH

the most FAVORABLE outcome you have is 1/6

#

While y'all are arguing, the 788 thread in #aeronautica revealed a server with 788 job Coffee

#

ACA if any spots are left

gloomy ether
#

Smh here’s how it works
1/6 chance to land a 6 on a dice

You want to roll 2 dices and have both land a 6

  • thus, you would multiply the probability of the first event by the second event
  • the result is 1/36

You want at least one dice to roll 6

  • thus, you divide the event by 2 because there is now a higher likelihood of the event happening because there’s more 6th sided faces being rolled and the amount of sides on each dice stays the same
#

The result for the second equation is 1/3

desert gust
#

wait nvm it’s even rarer

gloomy ether

#

FINALLY

gloomy ether

noble berry

desert gust
#

right now

gloomy ether
noble berry
#

server ACA

desert gust
#

simple

gloomy ether
# desert gust right now

The number of sides on the dice aren’t changing

You are rolling more dice

That means 2 dice are rolling for 1/6 sides

The chance of at least one dice rolling 6 is thus multiplied by 2 because there’s 2 fucking dice

The same happens with the servers and jobs/dealerships - this is why people serverhop for planes and jobs

vernal trench
#

did someone just nuke the chat

desert gust
gloomy ether
#

You are rolling a dice with a 2% chance to land that 6 once every 10 minutes (when the job board refreshes)

#

PER SERVER

#

if you add more servers the chance to get that 6 in at least one of them increases

desert gust
#

but I’m still going to stand by this because yeah

#

also I’m going to add in some factors

#

and then this is all assuming you get it first try

#

if you didn’t, you have to multiply it again and again until you do, and it’ll eat up more of your time

desert gust
#

and that’s not good imo

vernal trench
gloomy ether
#

You still need jet license

#

also there’s plenty of better planes

#

Likely even 990A beats it due purely to speed alone

vernal trench
#

that's literally what I was gonna say next

gloomy ether
vernal trench
#

787s are on par with A33Xs when compared with capacity

#

they're just faster

steep pivot
gloomy ether
#

it would be a good starter one

#

there’s much larger and faster aircraft

#

and if you want to start with corporates you need an entirely new plane

#

Same with cargo

#

Or racing

vernal trench
#

ive seen a lot of people complain that progression during the early stages of the game is hella boring (some even call it pay to win even tho it's literally not that)

#

and I'm not saying that everyone should get a free jet

#

but if the path to getting a decent jet can be made slightly easier and less unpredictable I think it'll help a lot of new people who are just frustrated with the slow early progression

#

that's just my opinion

plucky prism
#

You guys miss out on the entire point that voids this suggestion:

The value of the 788 is going to drop immensely the more time passes.

#

Simply because more and more people obtain it.

#

Sure it's annoying for now but you fail to look at the long-term development of the market for 788s.

I’m talking about how much of a pain in the ass it is to get
