How many flights can you do with goldfinch helicopters before one breaks down? I have two level 3 helicopter pads, 1 of 2 goldfinch helicopters, I haven't updated repair base H to level 3 yet, and this could be some time away.

Hello and good morning from the UK on this Sunday.

I constructed my Repair Base H Level 3 building (and obtained all the additional items required to make the building solid and live) before buying my Goldfinch helicopters, I was then ready to repair when they broke down. As for how many flights before breakdown takes place, is hard to say. It will most likely not be the same number of flights for all players. It is never that straight forward with this game.

Yes, I should have done that first :)

I forgot to mention the Gold Propeller Bonus

Yes, but that only reduces the chance of a breakdown by 90%, be just my luck it still breaks down anyway :) I'm saving my gold coins as fast as I can, may just have to mothball goldfinch flights until repair base is built. But thank you for your advice.

600,000 Gold Coins is not a great deal of money, if your game is well developed, in terms of your space program, commerce buildings, airplanes and bonus's (Golden Toad, Inconvertible Coin, Tourist Visa, Sky Captain etc.) Also the building items required (Rotor Balancer x3, Platform Scale x3, Assembly Jig x3) to make the structure solid and live.

I'm just over a third of the way to 600,000, it's a slow process but I'm getting there :) My little city only consists of 80 land squares, probably a little more on the commercial district side than the space/helicopter side. I could probably fit more buildings in if I didn't have roads that actually go somewhere, but I like my city the way it is. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, my city has to be symmetrical.

Take your time. This is a long-term game and you can go at the pace you want :)

I actually get there quicker when I don't participate in events that use up copious amounts of game resources, like fuel, and only fly the bare minimal alliance flights, instead of trying to do everything. I do Jenn :) I go at my own pace, I've got little green arrows everywhere saying update this and update that, but it can wait until I'm ready!

You have to consider each game, especially when playing the game for the thrid or fourth season (or more). Current event I have 3 destinations to 3 star, BUT I have an alliance mission this week that I have been waiting for. I am not going to divert planes to the event when I could 3 star an alliance destination. So I have 10 planes on the alliance destination, and I am chipping away at the event with just 4. Probably won't complete the event. It is so easy for the event to grab your time and attention!

I didn't complete the last event, there are plenty of other things to do in the game besides events :) I'm now half way to the $600,000

This game is very broad and very deep, so easy to spread yourself thin across all aspects of the game. More so, as you progress through the game levels. Far better to take the game in stages, during long term game play.

I'm happy to help, if and when you need it.

Thank you Captain Rollins, I would really appreciate that. I had a chat to ralphy a few weeks ago, and it was mentioned that I shouldn't try to do everything all at the same time, because like you say you can spread yourself thin, but I think I am still doing that. I keep thinking to myself I have a huge mountain to climb (2 x level 9 runways, repair base h level 3 (which I am currently working on), I need to get myself a red launch pad so I can do lunar flights). I've got no idea where I am supposed to be at with my planes, how many I'm supposed to have or even what type. I have read and studied the wiki's, I've bookmarked quite a few of them in the browser, so I can go back and check the info. I try to upgrade things were possible, on top of everything else :)
