Launch thread

[Davescharf]

I have had a neighbour invite for a newbie asking to join a launch group. Obviously i would never let you guys down so wondered if any of you had had an invite from doc_weggie. I will respond with i am already in a group but thanks for asking. I don't feel at this stage we need any more in the group but am open to your thoughts of asking him into our group if thats what you all would like

I got a request too. I'm fine adding doc as a neighbor but I do think we are pretty big already. I also have no idea how active a player he/she is

@Mark carson i just have this thread marked to watch and I get alerts on new posts. It works well for me and I have enough other social media tools at the moment

Are you in an active launch right now? The 24 hour clock starts once you use the 4 collections and got to the screen where the rocket fuel is (the stabilizers, bolts etc). You can sit in limbo where you're locked into a certain color Launch, but if you don't join or start one the 24 hours doesn't begin until you do that.

I'll check back later today and see if there's one active. I think our best bet is coordinating launches to start evening US time and they can be finished by morning. Other than Matt and occasionally Jay I don't know who else might live in Europe

Agreed, which is why we have this Area 51 thread. Only we can read the contents and get notified when anybody posts

I'm fine using this thread as well. I also like the idea of setting a regular launch schedule. US evening hours work best for me. I'm 6 hours behind London BST.

On a side note, thanks to your advice, I got to 400,000 coins sooner, so I now have L3 Mission Control under construction. Hopefully, while it is being built, I can gather up enough coins to get a Red Launch pad soon as well

I'll be on your time zone next weekend guys, i would say we aim for 4-5 pm central time as that would be 10-11pm UK time, don't want to keep us Europeans up too late

 

[Blue Jay]

But then thinking that may not work due to working times so as davescharf says Europeans launch first thing in the mornings before work after North America sets up before bedtime??

 

[Davescharf]

That was kind of what I was thinking. If we started around 8 or 9 Central time that could work. We'd just need to let Matt and others know if we've launched or have backup plans to ensure they don't end up in a failed one

 

[PhactorPhil]

I'm down with the plan

Make sure you keep visiting those neighbours who have 5 planatariums daily visits will reap rewards. I pull in around 30k per day so far just on those visits

 

[Blue Jay]

We land in 1 hour 52 mins from now

 

[Mark carson]

I dont have neighbours with 5 just 1 that has 1

Look on that forum page, the one that says something like people who have planatariums and just invite people in that thread. Don't forget to pm them stating you wish to visit their planatariums. I will go look for the exact location of the thread and let you know

 

[Mark carson]

I found one that has 6 planetariums and 5 training centres

 

[Blue Jay]

Look in the Trading Discussion forum there is a thread in there with lots of people in. Ask people like Kesh, Marve, Juame to name some i have

 

[Blue Jay]

Ok i have put a fresh green on the pad. If not finished by the morning i will finish it off and launch, off to bed in a few minutes

 

[Davescharf]

I will be right behind you but I'm not going to pass your total

 

[Mark carson]

Hi I pressed the equiomebt buttons on the launch after I joined did I do right?

 

[Mark carson]

Missions launched did I do it right

Ps Planatariums only give me 70 coins how do you collect 30k I don't understand this

Yes - that adds the points to the total launch. We are now launched since we hit 1600 points.

One thing to be mindful of is the concept of hijacking. We are pretty laid back but some people on the forum are really particular about this. Some will even remove you as a neighbor and/or boot you from the launch

The following is the general etiquette/unwritten rules

1. If someone puts 576 points in then you should assume they will take first place and you shouldn't pass them on total points. The only exception to this is if they say it's ok for others to take the first position.
2. Someone may not put 576 in but say they want first and are just slow in filling it up. Respect that or shoot them a note.
3. If you're within 30 minutes of the launch failing these rules don't apply

As to your planetarium question, the money we are talking about is from the collections you can complete when visiting neighbor's planetariums. 2 of the 4 collections pay out 2,000 coins each time you complete the collection so the money adds up fast.
