Launch thread

[Davescharf]

I'm in for the little I have. You've got about 80 minutes to launch with the ql

 

[FlyingFalcon]

Cool. I'm giving it just a moment to see if anyone else joins in if not then I'm launching.

 

[Matt]

Hey all hope you had a great day!!!
I was out celebrating my birthday so today my mouth tastes of sand and my head feels like it is going to fall off. :-(
Red on the pad.
Now excuse me while I go and die a bit more.

Happy belated birthday @Matt

 

[PhactorPhil]

I've joined @Matt on the red pad. 1,842 points left to go before we can launch.

 

[Mark carson]

How do I get QL s

 

[FlyingFalcon]

I don't have any more red launch kits.

Either fly 100 Blue or red launches to get one of complete one of the collections by using the time limited maps. The green map collection is called The Theory of Everything and you can look up the details on the wiki. QLs expire 24 hours after using them

Can't join your Blue as I'm in Matt's red

Hi gang!

We've had a couple of conversations on this thread about creating a launch schedule, but I don't believe we've firmed up plans. I'd like to see if we can coalesce our thoughts on what we'd like to do. I'm thinking we could create a plan for May and see how it goes. I guess it's the old project management rhythm ingrained in me over time: plan-do-check-adjust.

So what are your opinions about how often we launch as a group? Do we want to launch on all pads, or only focus on green and red? Who should be responsible for opening the pad? What other considerations should be part of the conversation?

I'm happy to handle the task of tracking our launches, if desired. I've started building a spreadsheet to track rotation of slots and dates, as well as a list of rewards for each slot. Screenshots below.

Thanks!

I'll be happy to participate and will take my turns as needed. Would like to hear from some of the more seasoned flyers.

@Davescharf mind if I pass you up on second on the red launch with Matt?

@Blue Jay are you going to join us?

Yep just suiting up now

 

[FlyingFalcon]

What are the launch ethic rules? Is 2nd and 3rd position up for grabs as long as you don't hijack the person in first if they have already put in a minimum of 576?

 

[Blue Jay]

2nd and third get the same i think, i will stay in 4th as i was last to join

@FlyingFalcon yes if you want. I'm going to add more as well here

@PhactorPhil i think some kind of schedule would be good. People keep opening stuff and not saying when they're closed. I don't like sitting stuck on a certain color launch

 

[Davescharf]

We have liftoff

 

[FlyingFalcon]

What I was referring to is the ethics of passing people up.

 

[Davescharf]

Most launches I'm part of are open after 1st unless otherwise noted. I do appreciate you asking though.

 

[PhactorPhil]

So how often do we want to fly to space together? Daily? Every Other Day? Twice a Week? Weekly?

Do we want to keep it simple such as Mondays we launch Green, Wednesdays we launch Blue, and Fridays we launch Red?
