Hey, you just described my playstyle.Gumboots wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2017 9:26 am
We are trying to get away from that, because we are trying to get away from everyone just hauling auto consists everywhere. We are deliberately designing in more specific loco stats, so that each loco will have an optimum use and there will be reasons for using each loco in the roster.
This wont prevent some overlap. For example, an express loco will be able to haul a reefer or two of milk along with express cars, which is how they were used IRL. And it will be fine to use a heavy freight loco to haul pax over steep grades, at the cost of some revenue loss due to lower pax appeal. But, in general, we don't want a roster full of one-size-fits-all locos.
Ok, this is interesting indeed. Yes, this would suit to my idea of variation. And nothing stop me to make some general purpose engines. As long as I remember not to give overrated stats.
