Are small seats in business class allowed?

seat restriction treats only the symptoms of (absurd) high demand on start of servers
one can still fly with business only aircrafts and such nonsense

That might be trueā€¦for a certain sub-type of carrier. Keep in mind that our three service classes in (current-gen-)AS have to cover all fare structures that exist in the real worldā€¦Southwest offers a ā€œBusiness Selectā€ fare. Ryanair and Wizzair offer ā€œflex faresā€ that arenā€™t called ā€œbusiness classā€ but still offer the things that business travellers would look for. The seats are still the basic benches as in any other class, though.

I am well aware that there are a lot of factors missing in (current-gen-)AS to really make all of this work. But thatā€™s one of the main reasons weā€™re working on ASTDā€¦

I know that it will never happen to reflect reality in AS. Thatā€™s why I think a simple solution would be to restrict the usage of certain seats for business and also for first class.

25

I am just confused about with what mechanism this would be implemented. Is there an in game mechanism to enforce? Or is just calling out violations to support or players the enforcement mechanism?

And again, is this worth a short term fix with ASTD on the horizon? (cough still waiting on an update on that Martin :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: cough)

I guess that it would be easy to implement it in game. And regarding ASTDā€¦ cough cough :slight_smile:

Hi Martin,

With the new world starting today, if I wanted to play the business class seat game with low-level business class seats and high prices, would this be okay?

I donā€™t want to waste anyoneā€™s time reporting or you having to read such reports.

Thanks!
