#Air Force/Military Alternative for Airlines

According to the Trello, Airlines are supposed to be one of the end goals of Aeronautica. However, the current planned implementation of airlines leave out the variety of military aircraft, and thus I propose an alternative: Air Forces, or a similarly named concept. The base functionality would be similar to airlines, though offering a bonus to military jobs such as surveillance and airstrikes, or even jobs from military bases in general. Of course, additional features could be added to bring them to a similar level as the currently planned Airlines system.

Pros:

  • Increased diversity of late-game play
  • New options for gameplay mechanics
  • Encourages new options for military jobs

Cons:

  • Requires additional concepts and development work for an already thought-out system
  • Buffs the already lucrative surveillance jobs

Genuinely curious to hear what people think about this, I just think it would be fun!

I dont think the two current programmers are going to cut it for any game mechanic type thing

figured I'd at least toss it out there and see

tough musk
#

That’s fair and all

#

to me at least

#

Player run air forces seems a little goofy

lyric hornet
#

yeah I can understand that, just not sure how else you could do a similar idea

tough musk
#

fair

lyric hornet
#

ig you could do some lore air forces or somethin and get some of the benefits

tough musk
#

maybe

one of my concepts was something like this:
Priority Airstrike: After completing a surveillance mission, players [have a chance to?] unlock a Priority Airstrike job for all players in the Air Force near/at the surveillance site, available after the next job cycle for [x] cycles. This mission would offer increased rewards, similar to Search and Rescue or Remote Delivery jobs

the airline i work in is a logistics military airline

#

i think that airline liveries give you bonuses on stuff like PTS regardless?

lyric hornet
#

liveries only give bonus for transport jobs

#

so yeah you can haul to/from military bases but I'm talking about surveillance and airstrike jobs

grizzled kraken
#

huh

#

i thought it gave bonuses for those too

#

maybe it would be better to have specific selectable buffs for airliners

#

like selecting specifically passenger transport, or cargo

#

that way you could have even more specific airlines

#

it would be nice to have bonuses for SAR as well

#

I mean that feels like a different idea but also cool

#

I buy AIM-9Xs on mass from the American military

I mean it's meant to be a partner concept with a similar goal of being an endgame play method

#

the exact bonuses and stuff don't have to exactly mimic airlines, it's just a good starting point
