All routes have to start from my homebase?

Yep, though not allowed now (since 1.2 came out with hubs), Sami has mentioned he might be implementing the 3-leg routes again, if not fully, at least so that smaller airlines can benefit on small-demand routes.

I would rather see basing restrictions lifted, and costs for bases not be as high.  ABCBA routes, IMO, will give such an unfair advantage to players starting from top airports.  In MT3, I am based in Atlanta, and I could see doubling my revenue if ABCBA routes were allowed, without having to open a new base....

Players starting in smaller airports would have their opportunities far more limited...

I actually found the opposite.  Starting from a small base, with ABCBA routes gave me the opportunity to serve more communities, because I could go on from those communities to serve larger cities nearby.  I actually wish I could do an ABCDEDCBA route, to create "milk runs" between major airports, but that would only work if the computer modeled traffic between "E" and "A."
