    Seems a bit weird to have something that just blows the WLT benefit block out of the water. Congratulations Lingerie Store workers/owners I guess.

    > Added Lingerie Store special 'Sex Appeal' to provide free Business Class travel at 10 stars "Oh yes, my flying income!" :D

    Nope. This special only applies to future upkeep. Duke made us tweak it for that very reason. What that man can do with an oiled spatula would frighten and arouse you.

Does 'Simp' imply that your staff starts simping for you?


Edit:
10* perk sounds very sweet for active flyers
I might start working on my summerbody!

It sure does. I wear nothing but lingerie when I go to restaurants and I never have to pay for my meals, plus I get a free ride home in an ambulance. Simping is real.

This update is more for travel muggers who buy bazaar goods/points and then fly to beat the traveler to their destination than it is dex whores.

(If hazmat didn't count as armor, it could be good... but +50% dex is pretty useless if you are peppersprayable / teargassable)

Fun for those dependent on travel income too. I could see a slight shift in PI-with-airport rental demand.

I guess recruitment for lingerie stores may be boosted near world travel day or hunting day? Active flyers would love this
Also with the BCT 10* perk pilots aren't necessary anymore
If your spouse is in a lingerie store you never have to pay upkeep again too.

But if I have tons of outstanding upkeep on my properties, will that mean it will all be removed once I join a 7*? Might lead to a case where inactives join to remove their fees so they don't anger Duke

=> great perks for travelers, specially newbie ?

Yes and no.

You have to commit to a company with very specific travel perks and not much else for this one.

If you had WLT before (an eye-watering 4B for faster flights) then you probably had other income methods other than just plushie running.

Maybe travel muggers....but with the 15 seconds change, that's not as much of a market so to speak.

Seems like a good company for new players now

with the 10*, i think it's about 13mil a day income from plush running now, and no PI fee's.

Pretty decent for new players if you ask me :)

sucks hazmat doesn't work with the naked perk like it used to prior to it being changed to an armor - would have made this a really good company. now it's just a company for noobs.
Unlucky [2472585] · #17 · edited
Great change IMO, especially the 10*. I always thought WLT being so expensive was strange as it would make a good NooB stock, but making it a company special is probably the best move.


With the decreased cost of E-dvds and people becoming more disenfranchised with paying to work I see the Lingerie Store getting a boost in popularity.

I guess I havent thought it through before typing that out, I apologise. I meant to type lingerie store but my brain smoothened out.
Saying this I'm assuming the upkeep waiver works when spouses are sharing properties, and the perk works whether the renter/owner or the other person is in the company

Not really weird, anyone can buy a WLT BB, but only those in a 10* lingerie store will get the perk. The BB will be as useful as it used to be to everyone else.
