Green Launch Explosive Bolt - Why 4 hours?

[Pilot Keith R]

Hi all,

can someone explain why the lapse time for using a second Explosive Bolt for a Green Space launch is 4 hours. I sort of understand the Powerful Bolt super quick lapse of 1 min so it encourages you to use them quicker at 360 points, but you only get 24 points for the ordinary bolt. Very odd?

Without having a direct answer (as I’m not the developer), money!
The small items are all coin purchases if you don’t have any, with the exception of solid fuel which can be produced at the cosmic fuel station. The quick items are purchased with greens when they run out. If you don’t have much fuel, it’ll cost you greens to launch, as the refresh time on the small items is too long.
The drop rate from the launch ready kits was changed about 6 months ago, before that they weren’t equal chances and the big items were much harder to come by.
It is worth noting the last time I actually saw the cost of solid fuel was 6/7 years ago so this may have changed without me knowing.
