Bloat Factor

[edvonbrock]

Hi Sami. I like your changes. I would like to ask about the Bloat Factor or a situation which may be related. A player may have fleets of Large or Very Large Aircraft, however opening certain bases in your country may require you use Medium Size Aircraft. Can this be done without additional penalty of adding a fleet, so long as this fleet is used in smaller demand bases?

The documentation / manual for the fleet commonality update is still in the works, but the Bloat Factor is basically what comes to play when you add another fleet to your airline. Company-wide. Regardless of aircraft size or location. It can be seen at the "Fleet Types Overview" section of the page.

Then again for each individual fleet, the costs grow per each base you operate the fleet at. This is a separate cost factor seen at "Efficiency and Savings" part of each fleet's calculations.

If I understand you well; a company with many bases will be more pushed towards greater standardization, while a 1 airport company will have more freedom?
