Blimps are worthless!

[maculator]

If it comes down to capacity they loose against every other form of transportation.
If I want to reach a hard to reach region I use cable cars.
They do look kind of nice and you can replace them with a real zeppelin (wich is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge), but thats about it.
They're just worthless garbage.

I felt the need to share this opinion.

Also: I love cable cars!

100% agree, blimps are not used for passenger use ever since after the Hindenburg accident way back in 1937.

Also, Cities: Skylines is a modern, 21st-century city-building game, not a 20th-century style one.

Instead of the blimps, I would rather go on the game's developers overhauling the default metro network to become like the Metro Overhaul Mod.

If they had some bonus like beeing prefered by tourists that would be nice. That would give them a purpose. Connecting your landmarks with a blimp line would make sense.
But for now everytime I gave them a chance they just can't handlöe the ammount of passengers and the second I connect a tram or bus line NOBODY useses them anymore.

I'd like to get some intel on what the hell people thought when they came up with the idea to implement them...

I enjoy cable cars and I enjoy blimps. Each have their uses and I've had no issues incorporating either of them into my mass transit network.
When used for long distance travel over fairly impassable terrain, the blimp rules.
This 7 tile long blimp line for example was really successful and cable cars over this sort of distance would have been slow and painful by comparison.

and that's the same for any kind of transport in the game, the faster line will be used more than the slower line. the question is why are you trying to have two lines going to same route?

presumably you have the same opinion of canals which are 18th century.

i do enjoy reading your incorrect statements, they make me laugh each time and make me question the educational system of the Philippines. Airships are still used to carry passengers, mostly for tourism purposes and i for one love that are included in the game

Blimps are my favorite kind of transportation. Because they are huge cute chunky hot air balloons. But you must use them right. If you are thinking like this what about trolleybuses? Cable cars are nice but they create poles in order to move. And these polls are gonna destroy the things (buildings roads etc.) Under them so this is not nice. But blimps, they can move over imposibble terrain. But they have disadvantages. They cant Carey that much etc. Having disadvantages doesnt mean that they don't have advantages. You just gotta use them right. I use blimps in all of my cities. And I create multiple cities. I put blimps between multiple cities I created and they use it to relieve the traffic. So just give them a chance and ise them right.

We know you like blimps - even though they are as implemented by the game just pure fantasy - so no need to res a thread just to make your opinion known.
