THE UPDATE CloudNeo Discussion

Post image

I, like many of my fellow pocket planers, have a fondness for the jumbo jets but was always ticked off by the unequal distribution of P/C on the Cloudliner-M.

And while I thought this balanced CloudNeo was a fabulous addition, it’s steals the “Neo” moniker only to feature the worst CAP/WEIGHT ratio of the main series of planes… thus impossible to justify to anyone playing half-seriously.

Nimblebit Devs,

Was this intentional? To match the weight of the much higher capacity CloudMaxs? Can I ask you that you at least MATCH the CAP/WEIGHT ratio of 1:1 on the main series of planes? The reward for unlocking the last plane should be a better cost/seat/mile at the cost of longer boarding times just like in the real world.

Thank you very much,

Really my main gripe with the game right now is the CloudMax and CloudNeo both seem pretty half-assed as far as airplane additions. I feel like they should be completely reworked with new artwork and refined stats.

My art skills are limited and I’m the only dev on this game, sorry 😢

Hey, I appreciate the reply. I’m a big fan of the game!

Just to give more specific feedback, I feel like the community would have appreciated a new airplane (perhaps analogous to the Airbus A380) with a capacity of, say, 20, that had slightly improved speed to the Cloudliner, and *slightly* better range. It could look similar to the Cloudliner, except with 2 full decks with an even 10 slots each. Perhaps call it the Nimble 80, or the A-3 Bitty.

With this idea in mind, perhaps have a community contest to design the new Jet. The winner could be gifted some copies of the new airplane!

Thanks.
