Allow money to be used for gambling

[midnight dragon]

Currently, Aeronautica has very few sinks for money. This leads to lots of it being accumulated and being a practically worthless currency once you get to jets.
I think one way to solve this is to let players gamble with money (2x the price of gambling with WP). This would add a money sink late-game and thus make money a useful currency.
I believe gambling is the best option for a good money sink, as you only gain excess amounts of it late-game and it's completely optional. Also gambling is funny so making it a important part of end-game would be very funni.

[midnight dragon]

yes there would be a influx of crate parts as many have accumulated large amounts of money, but after this influx is over, everybody would only end up keeping maybe 1m for repairs, TP, etc

[serene bay]

1 WP =10 Money

• or -

[versed hare]

What’s the point of money for tp anyways

[midnight dragon]

kinda outdated atp cause nobody needs money and ppl will just give it for free to new players

[midnight dragon]

the idea was prob "money spent on transport to another airport/money spent paying for your plane to get transported"

for realism

[versed hare]

The price is so insignificant there’s not even a point

Especially mid game

[midnight dragon]

it only rlly matters if you're new or in debt

but it's still cheaper to tp than fly there

[humble flower]

2 times is way too Op, make it like 10-20 times

[midnight dragon]

my thought was that since you only earn slightly more money that WP on most jobs, 2x seemed fair. There would definitely be a influx of parts for the first bit as there's lots of money stored, but maybe something like it starting at 20x then going down a bit every week so by the time it hits whatever number the devs decide (final price), most of the stored money will be gone

But yeh the first month or so after this being introduced might be rough for the economy (if it ever does get introduced)

[unborn basin]

Part deflation real

[hybrid swallow]

Yes i love gambling

[cosmic granite]

Aero gambling update when

[tired ether]

… but the cost in Money should be 10x the WP cost
Even the trello has 1 wp = 10 money

[midnight dragon]

^, but yeh I don't mind it being higher than what I suggested

[tired ether]

I think it was on a planned/considered suggestion for currency exchangeability

[tired ether]

interesting idea

Could essentially be used to controllably drain each type of currency from the economy
…By changing the gambling price ratio
But people would likely be mad

[midnight dragon]

yeh I'm mainly trying to think of ways that money could be drained as it's very plentiful late-game and this was the best I could come up with for now

[wary fern]

I never thought of this, but would be very nice

Aero devs when they see a good gambling suggestion:

[silver drum]

hmmmm

[cerulean verge]

Gamble lead to profit

Profit lead to gamble

[silver drum]

real

[cerulean verge]

Wise decision from the dev

[silver drum]

no way

[silver drum]

@serene bay is this real?

[midnight dragon]

This is so real

[nocturne heart]

so real

[serene bay]

what is that

and to which context

I dont even gamble often

not penguin aprooved

[nocturne heart]

@midnight dragon <-- used all his wp to gambling, now only $ left, he want to use $ to all in again

[serene bay]

lol

[cosmic granite]

the only winner is the house

unless you get a hyper part

[nocturne heart]

but I agree with @midnight dragon, $ need more often used in game

wp -> buy vehicle
wp -> gambling -> crate -> vehicle
$ -> gambling -> crate -> vehicle ???

is it good for $ to get vehicle chat? we need to discuss about it

[midnight dragon]

It would be a lot of $ to get a vehicle cause duplicate parts and stuff, so I think it’s fine

Crate vehicles can’t be bought with WP directly anyway

[nocturne heart]

if we can spin with money

[hybrid swallow]

WHY DO I HAVE THE HIGHEST LOSS???

accurate tho

[dawn sluice]

[nocturne heart]

dont lie to me bro, cmon

[hybrid swallow]

I didnt gamble 1M WP yet

I dont even have that much

[tired ether]

Real

Only inaccurate part is that Roteilen isn’t spending the most

[serene bay]

I never gamble

Smh..
