Staging Areas

If you have premium account you can have more staging areas I think

The staging areas work much like dispatch centers where the number you are allowed to have increases by the number of stations you have.

IIRC its 1 dispatch center/staging area for every 25 stations.

dont think that is true as I have well over 300 stations and the max staging I can have is 8

Confirmed. I just did a test and 8 was the limit for me as well. It made it appear I could go past this limited as I kept building test one but when I refreshed the page the ones past 8 I made just didn't appear.

I did however find another post where it mentioned that 4 was the limit but extended to 8 if you were a premium user (which I am).

I did the same test with Dispatch centers however and they do work on the 1 to 25 ratio.

I do echo the OP comments about having the ability to delete them espeically if they are unoccupied. It would also be nice if alliances admins could create more than just 1 because when you have your weekly mission and daily mission overlap it would be nice to have at least 2. Or long distance jobs where you need to hop between staging areas to get to the location.

just ask one of the admins - they might not always think of it, i dont but im more than happy to build more to help members

I have never had more then 1 staging area at once, I didn't even know there was a limit. What do yall use your staging areas for??

I've only ever used mine on very large EMS incidents to be able to have ambulances return to a point close to the incident after returning from the hospital. I think some folks who build out west may use them on wildfire incidents (especially now seeing as fire can sort of spread) but I'd be interested to hear how others are using them.

I use them when I have a ton of rapid wildfires, but I have only had to use it once.

So I use mine when I am expanding into a new area and want intensive care, TOG and other speciliased units in the new area while I am training and recruiting. I set them up for alliance missions since the alliance can only create one at a time.

Sometimes to reach a far away alliance mission I need to hop between more than 1 dispatch center in order to reach the destination.

I am currently using staging areas to mark out future fire station locations.
