Love: MrBlanka, MrBlanka's parents for birthing him, MrBlanka's family and friends for raising him, MrBlanka's giveaways and kindness and generosity and amazing heart, torn for supplying MrBlanka with money so he can give to us - and also just seeing little numbers going upupupupp
Dislike: People that dislike MrBlanka, people that mug MrBlanka, ...., and f******** flying!!!!!
(idk if something similar has been proposed before but just wanted to put it out there)
The current flying screen gives you access to, what, 3 kinda useful links, maybe more, that you sorta can do things with but in the end cant even do much? (stocks, newspaper, forums). And surely, when a person is flying normally, they are able to do more than just browse newspaper, use social media, and 'observe' stock prices?
I've a proposition to make, regarding making the flying screen more interesting. At times when I'm not busy doing irl stuff and letting my game do its thing, the times when I'm just idly staring at a Jabiru J160-C (Eileen_McKinsey's comment on the PI plane upgrade thread) or scrolling through and rereading every single unachieved merit over and over again (even though I've done so 20 times over already during my one flight to the UK and can recite off by heart my missing merits), or 'analysing' stock prices and pretending that I actually know how to trade ('yeah sym's definitely on the rise boys i can feel it in my bones') ... or even those times where I'm 10 minutes away from my destination and I really really really really don't have anything better to do than reread all the recent Monarch related threads on the forum ... what if instead I was able to engage:
in specific crimes (hacking/computer crimes for example - surely if you can code viruses you can also use them?)
in filling blood bags that I may need to bring onto the plane
in getting high
Different airplane access levels would grant different access levels of activities - I'd assume Torn City Travel Agency standard flights won't allow me to take xanax's mid flight but who's stopping me in my own private jet?
The consequences of some of the actions (OD'ing, getting arrested, etc. ) that would send me to hospital or jail could lead to some similar and some different consequences:
maybe OD'ing forces the plane back to where it departed from and lands you in hospital for the normal time, or an even longer period of time given the extended period of lack of treatment (that was the process of flying back to a hospital)
maybe jail from computer crimes are mitigated, or maybe some sort of interpol or local authorities can catch you and lock you up overseas? (something similar was mentioned in a previous suggestions post)
This would open up the entire overseas part of the game to so much more:
overseas drug taking
overseas jail - busting and bailing
overseas use of energy to do new and exotic things
transfer flights that let you fly somewhere else after a first destination (although travel item cap will stay constant) [no relation to anything, just popped into my mind while writing this]
etc. etc.
Which I personally would love to see because tbh flying is kinda really boring - but all of the above does seem a bit far fetched ...
OR all these consequences could just be dished out when you return back to torn...? Less inclined to go with this but easier to implement ig?
This just a concept as of now, if more attention is gained I will edit and put more thought into this.

Wishing you a safe ttravels through your troubles and adversities - may you overcome the challenges life throws at you with grit and strength and may you walk out the other end a better person. Goodluck!
Great service, accommodates flying, and although there were some hiccups (me doing missions and forgetting to unequip my brick or me running out of pepper spray), and even though the service was paused during dog tags by request from me, it was still overall very quick and efficient. Definitely recommend, and definitely will return for more :D
I added the shrooms thing as a joke and now i see why that was a mistake - and you know what, fair, you win - my sleep deprived brain did not pick up on your joke when I literally started it.
I see your point with the dinghy airplanes - but then again wind-line travel stock block is like 6 bil or smth ...
Also I did try to explain a lot of my points - crimes and drugs and certain other activities on board a place are completely feasible ....?
And looking back I see your point. This wasn't a great suggestion. However, I was looking for friendly discussion, maybe debate, as to how certain ideas work - sure this is probably never going to see the light of day but at least I'll have gauged how much interest a couple other people took in it, or lack thereof. I initially quite disliked the way you went about with your criticism, especially the lack of consideration of my point of view (you disregarded an entire reply btw explaining my logic and stuff by saying its just nonsense) but this last post was much much better thank you. I will take my idle thoughts away from public forums and keep it between people i know.
I feel like I would like to disagree with many things you say.
First of all most commercial planes have something called airline internet (operating through satellites, although you might need to pay extra to use) - what’s stopping you from doing computer crimes?
Second of all, I know people are doing things like filling blood bags and taking xanax's before flights now to max med cd before they return (three blood bags also does not max med cd to for a 4 hr round trip to the UK), but that’s the point of a suggestion right? Things are happening a certain way right now, I’m seeing if a new idea sounds interesting, trying to see if things could be made different rather than met with straight up rejection with no real reason instead of 'no non-logical'? Surely provide more thought into your criticism.
and drugs provide passive stats or energy upon use - maybe I'm stacking, maybe my drug cd has fallen and I don't want to waste it, maybe I want to go on a mugging spree when I arrive at my destination - OR maybe I have full nat e and want to get ready to dish out my attacks in war when I get back to torn ... plenty of uses of having extra energy before I land.
Certain restrictions could be put in place to make this less overpowered, like border security and customs checks internationally (credit) that have a chance to catch you, but that lands on the 'overseas mechanis' stuff that i have dot-pointed in first post.
And sure, there’s more risk in being mugged when you transfer but I can fly to Canada, get progress to my merit, and then finish the trip by stopping by Switzerland to rehab before coming home? What’s the point of something that doesn’t have risk? I do agree however that this is slightly more useless (and maybe breaks the mechanic if ‘flying’ - was a random thought that is probably getting deleted).
And since when was using computers discouraged on planes? Personally I use them all the time in my irl flights.
I understand that maybe you don't like my idea - but I have been given the impression that you took so much time and effort to hate my post just because of some personal prejudices and preformed views of my character (an assumption, i know, but the negativity in your reply with no constructive feedback ...) that you failed to see the point of the post - yes, we both agree the flying page is boring, so I’m suggesting maybe we can try change it? I’ve put this suggestion up here so that maybe people can disagree with me - ‘oh the flying page isn’t boring because …..’ or ‘oh the flying page is meant to be boring because of this mechanic ….. or that mechanic ….’ - sure, you make the point that it’s boring like a real flight - I would like to disagree and say that in a real flight I have access to certain freedoms that here in torn I do not. Maybe standard commercial planes would have very low access level, but the degree of freedom a passenger in a private jet has is something I think is being undermined here? I’m not saying add game breaking interactions that are only possible while flying and make it so that people must be online while flying - I’m just here trying to mimic real life.

would be a nice idea for items like egg launchers and such, increases convenience a lot for people that wish to lease but cannot find free ones - maybe a rental market of sorts? does remove the element of player interaction and forum sifting currently needed to rent items though ...
This is fr the best idea ive ever seen - and itd be even cooler if it could be extended to other pets, like people have mentioned earlier in the thread (CATS!!!!!!!!!)
