8points till launch

 

[mooers]

My launch has been hit by the glitch that duplicates the launch, which is a pain in the butt. You never know, GI may fix that bug one day.....

 

[primodakine]

Olly, anytime!

And FWIW everyone else... all you need to get the gold is 801 points. (Just over half of 1600) I always wonder what the players that contribute more than that (with 20+ hrs left on the clock) are thinking? No reason to rush!

I agree about those wanting to rush or wasting points especially using a PEB when less than 100 points are required. I have previously used up my supply of Soild Fuel by starting a launch and going slow to burn up over 120 units, now I am down to 14, however there were always people rushing the launch as soon as they joined.
However you do not get1st or Gold at 801. There have been many instances where 1st was stolen as someone deliberately contributed more points than required to get over the 1600 required.
To ensure 1st you will need 1158 to guarantee it if a single player. ie 802 can be beaten if someone gets to 796 then uses a PEB to get to 1156 and claim first.
This is true for the other levels, I have lost launches, first and other levels due to people using a PEB to get to a higher position and wasting points (over 300 in a couple of cases). That is exteremely rude, much more than someone joining a launch and beating the initiator.
If I want to go for first I do throw in Large Fuel Tanks and Main Stabilizer Units at the start but hold off my small supply of PEB so they are not wasted if someone hijacks the launch.
Otherwise slow launch use 56 points at the start then keep building it up.

ummmm.......

I believe the minimum required to absolutely guaranty 1st place is 980 coin.

If you put in 980 coin, then there are only 620 points left to launch.

So lets assume player 2 puts in 619 (total is now 1599). The most player 2 can add is a PEB for 360 points, which would bring player 2's total to only 979 points (and 2nd place).

Very interesting... FFS you would think if someone has PEB's to blow they would start their own launch instead of burning them up to get 980 or whatever points... I have always contributed between 600 to 800 points typically for a Gold. I often get that without using my PEB's at all! I like to keep them as a stash!!

Maybe it works: change your name before starting the mission in DON'T TOUCH, there could be a chance you have enough time to throw your items every time and make your launch at your own...
Or ... many people are so curious, they all click on your mission

You have stated this problem a few times already, and you even got pissed off at a certain point haha I don't understand what the problem is. Why would you want to use all your Solid fuels? Doesn't really make sense to me. Your launches always attract many people, whenever I join your launch theres 4/5 more, it's a certain launch. People just want to launch fast and get the items for the Alien Legacy.

Why don't you just join someone elses launch instead, maybe someone who is not from the forum or a lower level so you can do the slow launches?

Two things really annoyed me was the launch completion 15 minutes or so before I could burn another Solid Fuel. Having more than than 20 is just a waste of resources....financial manager in me? Using PEB when 60 points were required for a launch! Some people obviously value them less than I.

Not an issue at the moment for me as 14 is an appropriate stock level for me.
Last 4 launches for me I joined others.....all successful and I managed to burn enough to keep me satisfied, last one lasted around 40 minutes, which was good as it meant I was able to go to bed.
Regarding the attractivenes of my launches, obviously it is due to me.....guaranteeing success that is and the high chance that someone could get get 1st as I was not really interested in going for Gold.

sorry, i wanted to offer you a slow launch

Well it was cost effective and cheap, unfortunately pushed to Bronze, but I have 56 unopened Launch Ready boxes and 1 Space Exploration Set, in my warehouse if I do get bored or more serious about going for Gold.
Democracy got in the way soon after the launch anyway which would have reduced any further contribution.

My Launch pad was stuck for more than 1 month, so I accumulated lots of Solid Fuel (I have 123 Solid Fuel in my warehouse).

Maybe Blackcloud, Phantom and Bali Hi should do slow-mo launch gathering one of these days!
