I've managed to math out the figures I'll need to get the max out of my drivers every day, and I've found the most paying "profession". My drivers are always 1-2 minutes before the "fine" zone, and I rarely mess it up.

I would be on max profits (or among the top 3-4 in my HQ level) on that new leaderboard every week.<br /> Sadly, there's really no way to catch up to the one who joined before you, UNLESS he screws up his jobs one day or you simply outmath him in the calculations before he realizes there is a pattern for max profit.</p> <p>But as I said, it's a good idea, and might just work well if thought through, we can work on that. </p> http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/topic.php?id=529#post-3471 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:14:07 +0000 Khenan 3471@http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/ <blockquote><p><cite>Bensporter - 14 hours ago <a href="http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/topic.php?id=529#post-3464">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</a></cite><br /> What's Transporter's other game?</p></blockquote> <p>I´m curious too, since this game is good... </p> http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/topic.php?id=529#post-3470 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 00:51:59 +0000 vinbrendel 3470@http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/ <p>My idea would be to have more different leader boards and invent new ranks, in particular ones that only take into account data from the last week (or other time period). Examples:<br /> 1. Total assets gained in past week.<br /> 2. Highest daily income in past week.<br /> 3. Percentage growth of assets since last week.</p> <p>There could even be an overall rank, like a points system, which combines all ways of ranking, including total assets and total goods shipped, HQ level, etc. using weighted averages. It does beg the question, what really makes a player "the best player"? Do they treat their staff well? Do they never incur a fine? Do they grow their company the fastest? I don't think it's mine to suggest...</p> <p>By the way, don't split PA and Non-PA players in the ranking! I think the whole point of a PA account is to be able to advance further/faster in the game, and as such there needs to be an incentive to pay up. Having essentially what is a sub-game for non-paying players may convince some players there is no need to pay. Then there's the issue of PA's expiring eventually... so it doesn't make it 'fair' for Non-PA accounts anyway. </p> http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/topic.php?id=529#post-3469 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 22:31:18 +0000 DrivingManiac 3469@http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/ <p>Why not split the 2 groups PA and NonPA and have 2 sets of Leaderboards?

I pick up a load of soldiers and the estimated time for taking them to the new place was about 17hrs and change. I knew it was a risk that unloading them would take me over 18 hours but I figured at worst it would take me over by 30mins and I was willing to pay a small fine for the price I was getting the soldiers at. So I clicked the continue button and up pops the shipping screen with the final total of how long travel would take.</p> <p>20 HOURS!!!! since when does it take three hours for soldiers to walk the plank and onto dry ground? Was it a load of amputees maybe? </p> <p>I got a 13,000 and change fine. This wasn't reall a post for conversation as I just wanted to vent. </p> http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/topic.php?id=481#post-3461 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:08:18 +0000 DrivingManiac 3461@http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/ <p>Yeah it doesn't say how much u made for the day or how much load u took for the day.

However, Transporter's other game is my primary game, and one I find really addictive, so all the "game-sponsoring" cash I can muster goes to that one, as little as the amounts are.</p> <p>Games are a sort of "competition" for me, and I can't get a kick out of something I can't make an impact in. If I bought a PA at this stage, I would never be able to catch up to the no.1 premium player, and all my effort would feel futile. But being a non-PA, I found it increasingly fun to find out new strategies to stay well ahead of my other non-PA "competitors". Now that I've reached a point where they cannot catch up, the game has lost its charms, and would not regain them by me buying a PA and dropping to the bottom of the PA ladder, especially since it would take a year or two of careful planning and job filtering to catch up to the top 10 at least.</p> <p>So basically, two reasons:<br /> 1. Can't really afford to spend money on 2 games living in a poverty stricken country that I do.<br /> 2. It would make the game far less fun for me, even if I did have many more things to accomplish if I bought a PA. </p> http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/topic.php?id=527#post-3458 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:24:52 +0000 Transporter 3458@http://community.transporter-tycoon.co.uk/ <p>Go to your company screen, click the upgrade button on Premium Account then either use wallie or click the button there to enter the store :) </p>
