Red Launch Hijacker

[Molly G]

Beware. This guy hijacked me this morning. So frustrating, especially after using so many resources.

 

[Bongerman]

He's a neighbour of mine that added me a while back now. Never stole off me or tried to either. He did join my ql party and "pinched" 1 first place straight away then helped 3-4 people get 1st then disappeared. IF you left it open he might have got bored and took it thinking you left open for someone else?
You can always remove him if you want.

Unless Road404 fixed it, you can't remove them. Sure, you can delete them off your list, but you are still on their list.

I have a neighbor that joins my launch that is no longer on my list (not because of hijacking but because they quit playing for awhile and I deleted them, then they returned).

Deleting a neighbor while launching will not affect..

Whenever you want o get rid of someone..

Delete them when you are not connected to internet..
That will help

Well, I had one guy disappear from my list, so I guess there is a way to do this.
@Molly G Don't start launches on your own. Coordinate with your neighbors.

The only way I've ever done launches is by starting them and posting on here. I've heard that people have launch groups and do them together regularly, but I have no idea how to become a part of one.

 

[Agent_L]

Just wait until someone opens and then talk to him.

 

[Molly G]

I just got hijacked AGAIN. This is unbelievable. I've expended all of my best resources in the past two launches and I've been hijacked both times.

 

[Bongerman]

Same person??

 

[Molly G]

Same person??

No, this time the guy's name is Murple74. This is so frustrating. I really needed the 300 fuel and the collectible items so I can get a rocket garden. I've used almost 3,000 points worth of resources on the past two launches and got hijacked both times.

 

[Bongerman]

Can't say about that person I'm afraid.
Don't be too disheartened, not everybody will do it.

I'm sorry to sound harsh, but you're repeating the same mistake. Clearly, opening a launch and leaving it at 1500 is vulnerable to hijacking - why keep doing it?
If you insist on starting, put in at least 2000.
Or pre-arrange with a friend so he'll join and put in 500 to make 2000 with your contribution.

 

[Bongerman]

1860 is the minimum needed to guarantee 1st.

 

[drivefast99]

This is why all my neighbors are from a forum. You can at least have some form of communication.

For a social game, AC is not very social...

Hi Molly G
Add me a neighbour and I can help you completing your launches. Just send me a message before so I can make sure I can join

Hi Molly
I read your issues
See the items we add to the launch have some timings with fuel amout,
PEB, Main Stablizer and Large fuel tank become available in minutes
So In my opinion you could save your big resource for end and add smaller in starting
When you feel that now you can close the launch add bigger ones

And about fuel
I generally use 1 hr time in fuel station I save 70 fuel in an hour
But if you play frequently use 10 minutes time in fuel station to get fuel
In every ten minutes you will get 10plus3 plus the fuel you get from guest planes
I hope that will help good

Thank you for the advice--that's really helpful! I'm going to try that with future launches!

I keep missing your launch's Molly and would love to help out without hijacking you.

Have you thought about either sending PM's to those of us on here who are on your friends list before you launch to give us time to get ready or inform you if we are on other launch's

Or put a launch thread on here and tag those of us who are on your friends list so we get a notification when the thread goes live

as previously drafted anything below 1860 leaves u vulnerable, not sure I would classify as hijacking or simply fair play since 3000 tilts the launch whomever contributes.. Gamesmanship is more the issue. I would welcome an invite and play nice, at the end of the day however it's simply a game of entertainment to reduce the stress of daily life. One that I do enjoy that is relatively free..

I always figured the number was needed to avoid being passed was 1680. Anything above 1320 from the person trying to pass will start the launch because the total hits 3000 and if they add a 360 to 1320, the highest increment available, I'll still be in first.

But maybe I'm confused. Happens on a regular basis apparently a lot in hearing my wife.
