Oolite Bulletins

What is the maximum number of passenger contract that you run at one time? For me, four seems to be the limit, any more, and I start missing deadlines it seems. But I would like to know from as many of you as possible what your thoughts are. Thanks for your time!

Even though I have a ship,a veloce,that has the speed to run multiple routes, I run only 1 passenger at a time... give them top of the line service from the moment they get up to when they go to sleep. With this service, I often receive 500-1000 cr bonus on arrival.
so to answer your question:


only 1 passenger per run.

I've run two passenger contracts at once... but as Atomic Annie is currently only fitted with two berths that's the maximum that she can take.

Though DeathKnyte reckoned he'd fitted out a 'Conda with ten passenger berths in the "Anaconda Blues" thread ...

Six is the most I've tackled at once.. but more may well be possible.. the key factor is how well any new jobs fit in with your existing itinerary. Any time I drop a passenger off, I try to refill the berth.

Yup, 6 is the most I've done so far, with cycling the berths as much as possible.

Okay, I want to thank everyone who took the time to stop in here and give me their feedback! Seems like the common consensus is between 1 and 10 (in a rare case), with 4-6 being the median. I think I will be "hard coding" "built-in" passenger berths from now on in my ships. In some, you will be able to add and remove additional berths, while in others, the "structurally imperative" number of berths will not be able to be changed.
For those interested, HERE is the thread that details this process.
