OPERATION SKYBRIDGECOMMAND EDITION

Run a veteran enterprise from the cockpit. Before each theater you allocate capital on the Command Map. In the air, every ton you carry, every foot of altitude, and every unit of liquidity changes how the aircraft flies.

HEAVY vs LIGHT Each zone needs a cargo class. Heavy kits fall fast and straight. Light kits drift in crosswinds.
ALTITUDE = ECONOMY High air burns less fuel but crosswinds wreck your aim. Low air aims easily but burns 40% more.
LIQUIDITY Blue rings fill a pool that compounds. Spend it on BOOST, or let it back-stop your supply tank.
PERMADEATH Lose the hull or run dry and the enterprise is bankrupt. New campaign, new map.
