Hi, as described above: Is there a scheduled start date for the used aircraft market on the current Quimby iteration?
Thanks in advance
Not quite sure what you mean. Quimby launched without used aircraft. So you’ll only find used aircraft on the market once players sell aircraft or NPC traders offer aircraft from liquidations. If all of these are snatched up by players, the market will appear empty.
Ok, I need to rephrase: We had quite a few liquidations since Paine was launched - not just pop-up accounts, but established airlines within the top20. I have also been able to pick up a number of pilots from the crew market instead of training them. Sometimes there are >100 pilots available. Yet not a single used aircraft trade has taken place. I am usually checking both the market and landing page with all the orders on a daily basis.
If no planes turn up - is that possibly erroneous behavior from the brokers’ side?
My initial take was that you had simply retarded the launch of the market to avoid players setting up airlines, then killing them off to generate “used” planes from the immediate delivery program.
Ah yes, now I know what you mean.
Indeed, any “new” aircraft younger than around 70 days are culled by the aircraft trader to avoid misuse. Since Quimby is still younger than that, you are technically correct: The second-hand market “hasn’t opened yet”
