1 or 2 airports per country. BUT they only stay open for a certain amount of time. Then once the timer hits zero. It closes and some other random airport in that country opens. This way if you are trying to keep someone out, you have to hop to the new airport and shut it down. Yes some players will just shut down as many as possible, but small players will tear down turf once airport is closed to avoid bein capped. If larger players just cap and close airports they will go above limit and hinder their ability to hop. As for what airports will open/close, we use the lists we have now PLUS add a lot more. Not only major city airports, but smaller cities as well. Not small towns or anything. The airports that are open can only fly to other countries, they do not fly to the other airport in that country. It would promote hopping, and create better strategy.

😰 so what do you all think? Oh amd for the length of time the airport is open.......I was thinking maybe a month?

I only read the first couple sentences and it seems like a cool idea!

I like it. This could make it so that some players who close airports won't have a chance anymore, this makes the game much more interesting, and makes airports a more difficult tool to use for some, and adds a new aspect into the game.

Its just like 'The Man' s idea of random airport strikes

That is part of what makes it good.

Not really. His idea still has all airports open but random ones close. Mine is only one or two airport's per country. They only stay open for one month then close. They may not open back up for 6 months..maybe a year or even longer. Have both on a different start time. So every two weeks one of the airport's switch.

Then some people would go to every airport and take controll.

Sounds like a cool idea Kev! I don't agree with the minor airport part though. Keep it to international airports. There's still plenty of those

Yes, but as you can see...so many of those are already locked down. We would have to add more airports to the list. Doesn't need to be 100 more. Just enough to keep people on their toes if they are trying to keep someone out.

Just thought of this to help clean up airports once they close. As many would just leave turf their to wait until it opens again. But to help combat this once the airport closes, the income drops off severely. As the airport may not open for some time...those who leave turf there will have to suffer the horrible income or taxes. The only time the economy is good is when the airport is open.

I like it but i think it would be hard to code...

Would probably be really difficult to code, but it would bring the gps function back into the game, which is a big plus.

One month is too long. Maybe a week but have more airports. Like a list of a 50 airports and should go in a loop. But the airports on the list can't have another airport closer than 50 miles atleast.

But if it's a loop, people will close down an airport knowing when it will open again. They will suffer with less income knowing they have that airport closed. Having 2 airports open only, and they are chosen at random makes for better strategy and better use of airports. One month may be a little too long, but at the shortest I would say 3 weeks. This would allow someone to fly out of one airport and begin their hop to the next available airport if they choose. Plus It gives people time to set up and prepare for invasions, and allow those invading time to strategize. Having an airport switch every two weeks seems perfect.

One or two per country???
That is a lot of hopping, maybe one or two per state, how
Fare is that mutch hopping for a lower level
