Collected all of the parts and was super psyched.

Set it up for its first flight and discovered that with its limited space but huge weight that it is completely worthless. Even with weight fully upgraded. Sad face.

Completely agree. I've got enough parts for 3 starships - lost all excitement in the game; it could have used a lot more testing...

are we all being forced to play an alpha release?

The 1.0.4 update is undergoing Apple approval as we speak; just not sure if their current to do list covers such fundamentals as 'gameplay mechanics'.

Don't completely write the starship off.

Yes, it technically loses gold per flight, but if you use it as a fast "buck" transport, the returns on the dollar are more than you're losing

Actually looked into that. If you convert those bucks to dollars in a starship flight from Paris to Los Angelos you only gain about 2.5 thousand. Now think how long you're going to be waiting for two passengers and a cargo worth bux. Not really worth taking up a plane slot.

Believe me I want to like it but when I have to spend 66bux to upgrade the weight to even get those results it's sad. The starship is gimped.

I certainly hope they buff it so it can make some semblance of profit...

Wow, this thing is terrible. I loaded up a full starship at Los Angeles, headed to Paris, and it STILL would've cost me over 2,000c!! No gain whatsoever. What a piece of junk!
