I did a search and didn't find him on the forum. There are many reasons why players kick people off of launches: He may have been doing a slow burn, or waiting for others to join, etc. If you put in the 300 pts too fast they may have thought you were trying to hi-jack the launch. We have been kicked off a launch only one time, and that was because we put in over 300 right away on a QL launch. We've found that putting in a low amount slowly usually ensures not getting booted.

He runs private launches - many of them slow burn. You probably intruded, but he does usually put "private" in his name to warn people when they are not invited

Generally, if you are joining somebody else’s QL without having an active QL yourself, you should only contribute a maximum of 216 points. That should save you from being booted and allows those with active QLs to take higher spots.

It’s @Markus Rashford

There was no ql. I put in the first round of points minus the powerful bolt. The total on the board was not much either. I got booted when I logged in an hour later.

I just checked. It was about 216 points. 1 of each except the powerful bolt !!!

My previous Blue launch I put 978 pts and when I thought I was safe someone hijacked with 980 pts. Still didn't know how that happened 🙄

Check @Captain WH Rollins guide about how to deal with highjackers.

But yeah, you need to put at least 1180 to be safe for blue launch. Lower than that, there’s always risk for highjacking.

I'm sorry I mean Green launch and I followed the trick @Teboho taught me 50% + 180 pts. So Green is 1600 and mine was 978, still don't understand how the hijacker did it with 980 while it needed only 622 more 🤣

If you have not done so already, you should read through the following user guide on dealing with hi-jackers https://www.airportcitygame.com/thr...kers-during-open-launch-flights-v7-5-7.22880/

978 is not 50% + 180 🤣🤣🤣

If you put 980, you should be safe for 1st position.

thanks Captain so your guide has a different formula for anti-hijacking...

i know but how... Green requires only 1600... and both of us were 1,958

The total points needed is 1600. But the total points can surpass 1600. For green it’s 1958.

You can check the other space launches guide. A lot of replies explaining how the total can surpass 1600.

I know... what I mean is how someone would waste such resources... the exceeding is almost a PEB. I would rather save it for next launches.

That’s because hijacker don’t use their brain 🤣

It was still cheaper for him to hijack than have to put in 100%. Never leave your launches unattended. Can happen very fast.
