Good casual game

[PeteCanes]

Found this game on Jayisgames.com and it's a pretty good find. Doesn't take much dedication, you can pretty much set yourself up for the day, close the game down and check back in a few hours. If you like Walruses and weasels flying combat planes, this is your spot.

Captain Scott, at your service! *sallll-UTE!* I guess there are no missions because it's like O-dark-thirty? Anyways, fought off three pirates so far, without being hit. I'm still pretty clueless. Tomorrow, when I have time, I'm going to fly the ore I bought somewhere. See wazzup on a different island.


Nice game! Fly when you want... ignore when you want. :p

[PeteCanes]

Once you get the hang of things it's pretty straight forward. You can set up flights between islands and close the game and your trips will still go through.

Dang! I haven't played since last weekend. I tried this afternoon to login and play some more, but I didn't write down my password, and can't login. I clicked the link to "forgot password?" but haven't got an email back yet.

[scOtt]

Down low.

Too slow!

:p

Capt. if6was9, at your service! *sallll-UTE!*

[scOtt]

if6was9 is closing in on 24 hours flight time. With a shiny new plane that shoots forward and to the side. I want to get to 24 hours so I can do some missions.

[The Wedge]

I've started up. This seems right up my alley.

[PeteCanes]

Things are progressing for me here, I've got a dangerous plane, modified Vengeance with 16 firepower and 450 kph. I've been saving up for a combat kit, which costs something like 4 million. Not sure if I'm just gonna get a tier 4 plane first instead.

[scOtt]

I'm using a Valkyrie. I use it's lack of speed to advantage in battle. I like the 35 cargo hold. And the four big guns. :D

I'm trying to save up for something with a lot more range, and still the big cargo hold. I'm doing pretty well flying a mission or two, then filling the remainder with stuff to buy and sell.


I'm pretty clueless on the Skill Tree. But I just keep clicking on stuff. I must be getting better, right? :p

[PeteCanes]

Yeah, I like my plane to have as low stall speed as possible with decent acceleration.

I've scrapped my idea of kitting my Vengeance, so I'm gonna get a Hades and pimp it tight.

[scOtt]

I misspoke, I have a Phantom, not a Valkyrie. Good plane nonetheless.

Was searching menus tonight... I want to find a Seahawk (#1 hope) or a Spectre or Cyclops. Got's 90k+ burning a hole in my pocket. :p Not sure if that will buy any of those yet... but I can make more money.

You can get a Seahawk on Tehras or Cidade. You should have just about enough with the trade in of your Phantom. Spectres are on Getty, Sharif and Midgard.

Got a Hades last night and spent about 1 million upgrading it. I hate it. I miss my giant beam of destruction I had on the Vengeance.

I got my Seahawk, on Cidade. Not much firepower out of the box. Flies nice tho.

[PeteCanes]

I had a seahawk, it's a good plane. Get some .80 cal bullets and armor piercing up in Eltsina and Gonk to up your firepower and redesigned wings B to bump your maneuver.

[scOtt]

I already got the wings. Heading North for the big guns as I type. .80 cal! :002_sdrool:

[scOtt]

I'm thinking of taking on a crew member... trader or mechanic. Which would you suggest?

I have a Mechanic and a Navigator. Never had a trader. The mechanic fixes armor, but at a pretty slow pace, and mine is a level six. I'm not really sure how beneficial the trader is. I would get the Mechanic to start leveling him up. Ask on the radio, people are pretty helpful.

[scOtt]

Thanks. 50k G is a chunk of change... when my real goal is the combat kit for the Seahawk... a Million.3. Passed 250k tonight. I might just wait. Maybe wait on both the crew member and the kit.

Was looking thru my "discoveries" tonight. Might want to just upgrade my plane. A Hades or a couple others look tasty...

[PeteCanes]

I'd get the crew member soon/now. Start leveling him.

So close to the kit for a Vengeance. Can't wait to get out of the Hades.

If you say so... I'm going for the mechanic.

Heh. Einstein was so right... relativity... You can't wait to get out of a Hades. I can't wait to get in one...


:p

[PeteCanes]

Finally got the combat kit for a Vengeance.

[scOtt]

Finally got the combat kit for a Vengeance.
I'm still leaning toward the combat kit for the Seahawk and riding that for a while. I'm pretty strong already, with the .80 cal and armor piercing. I'd never lose a fight with the combat kit! Even against a Leviathan or that other huge blimp.
