Welcome @Robobobo888!!

 

[Robobobo888]

Happy to be here. Thanks for inviting me!

I had my first lunar launch on Friday and wound up stumbling into a QL party. I got 10 lunar launches off by the time it was done

After that though I am pretty depleted on the higher-point launch items. I am happy to pitch in on launches and be content for a while with the lower ranks while I build my supplies back up.

Alright, this is getting exciting! With the addition of Robobobo888, our private launch group is now up to 8 players. With everyone wanting to stock up on space supplies and the US Memorial Day weekend coming soon, I'd like to suggest we postpone our planned launch schedule until June. I know this seems like way far in the future, but I'm sure June 1st will be here before we all know it.

As always, you thoughts and input are appreciated!

Maybe Mark will have his red pad by then too just in time to make you change your spreadsheet again

 

[PhactorPhil]

Right! And hopefully Jenn13245 will be ready soon too!

The schedule looks good to me too. Sorry I haven't had a chance to read up on this/these threads to see what a 'private launch group' is all about. I think (mostly*) I get it now. So I will launch a green on 05/22 and post once I have done so.

I did decide to build a blue launch pad (despite fact it is so similar to green 'collections wise') however I don't anticipate having red launch pad any time soon since it is so very expensive to buy. Therefore I can pitch in on blue launches as well beginning tomorrow.

*My questions are below:

• should I post once I launch the rocket or after I put in all my points?
• I obviously can't put them in all at once since some take hours so at what points after adding should I post?
• do we just 'respect' the first place position from beginning and only add enough to keep them in first at all times?

Hopefully I will have enough 'launch fuel/supplies' (what do you all call those?) to participate helping and also enough to get a first place when it's my turn to lol.

Thanks all!

Hi jenn thanks for the defroster

I myself still struggle with the forum lol



I'm only good for green or blue launches myself fir a while as I'm way off from MC3 and Red pads

A suggestion can be Ines who cannot participate in Red launches can do a green or blue one at same time that way both can still do launches on the same day

 

[Mark carson]

@Jenn12345 usually if 4 or more are joining a launch the lead person puts in around 576-600 points to get 1st place

These guys know tons and are very helpful

When it's your turn to do a launch on the schedule then start it out in your points then message us to start adding points once pints are complete. Launch it and message here that is has launched

Can someone repost the schedule and I think starting from June would be best to gather up resources for launches

I may have been one of the perps for that Friday QL party. Once Kendra showed up it was bound to get fun because she has a QL on every launch. A couple weeks ago I organized a QL party and we did over 30 launches in 2.5 hours. That was pretty fun

You will find a lot of people in our group are frequently running short on supplies. Throwing in 100 points on a red to get 2000 or 6000 coins isn't always a bad thing. One of my fuel ring games can do green and blue launches now but I don't have any spacesuits to actually put one up...it happens all the time.

For anyone interested in probably going to put a green on tonight. I can at least collect a map or two without investing a ton of points in the launch

 

[Mark carson]

My green arrives back around 1 hour and 20 mins

After that I can do green or start a Blue happy to join whoever ok

 

[Mark carson]

Hi I'm back anyone doing a launch either Green or Blue tonight

Probably gonna do Blue next

 

[Davescharf]

@Mark carson i will set one up before I go to bed and you can join in the morning. I'll post here what color. Sound ok?

 

[Mark carson]

Yep good to me

 

[Mark carson]

Hi not sure if all these are vital for launches or not but it's what I have

8 spacesuits
3 lab notebooks
0 field ration
52 treadmills
41 lunar module
44 orbital telescopes
3 space station
37 infared telescope
40 lunar rover

 

[Davescharf]

Means you have about 40 red launch kits, a few blues, and no greens. Guess I'll setup a Blue later so you can join.

Also means you need to save the 500k in coins for the red pad and MCC

 

[Robobobo888]

0 field ration

Visiting neighbors' cosmic fuel stations is my preferred way to get field rations. I have 31 field rations but only 4 each of lab notebooks and space suits!

 

[Mark carson]

Ok I'm on it gonna save up now for MC3 nothing else now to build

Got 8 planes flying some in reserve too
1 jumbo
3 delta
1 powerful delta
2 jet
4 turbo prop

Might try do green maps tomorrow I have two in my warehouse plus about 5 purple
