Launch thread

My issue is fuel before work. As long as the videos are working the extra 100 units works great but otherwise it takes reserves to get them off the ground

Yeah, since I added my last aircraft, I also run out of fuel in the morning and pull from inventory. Unfortunately, my main game is on Windows, which does not offer the videos

Another hijacker has appeared

Thanks for the heads up @Robobobo888. He's taken care of. We're now at 1,822 of 2,000 with 17 hours to go. So much for the game name change idea, eh? Sad thing is that Erhanxx is a regular visitor to my city and often sends gifts ... too bad he's not on the forum so we could communicate.

 

[Robobobo888]

I think the game name helped. This one has lasted a longer time, on a Friday evening no less.

 

[PhactorPhil]

OK gang, I am shutting down for the night. Right now at 1,852 of 2,000 with 16 hours on the clock. I still have 50 explosive bolts and 91 solid fuels, so I may do one more again this weekend when this one gets back. Anyone else finding value in doing these small launches?

Anyone else finding value in doing these small launches?

It's an interesting exercise at least. I am getting two solid fuels used per launch instead of just one, so there's that...

 

[Mark carson]

Wtf happened went to add more points and it already launched I had more points to add to it

 

[Mark carson]

I like the idea but this player hijacking it ruins it as wanted to use up lots more small points

 

[Mark carson]

Hi I just checked a neighbour he has an oil refinery lvl 2 and one at lvl 3 (do t see a lvl 3 on my grid of buildings to build) with another currently being built so is it worth doing more refineries especially if you get the barrel to double the quantity just before you level up. Thoughts please??

 

[Davescharf]

Phil if we want to do another maybe I'll start it. I only have forum members as neighbors so maybe that will help because I can say something in the forum too after we get it started.

I also would want to start it during the week. Weekends are a good time to stumble on impromptu QL parties.

 

[PhactorPhil]

Dave, I'm kosher with you starting the next one and doing it during the week. It does seem that weekends are best for QLs and being committed for 24 hours on the weekends hinders opportunities to join QLs.

I haven't yet come to a decision on whether to boot my game neighbors and only have forum neighbors. I typically have between 10-15 visits daily, most of which are not forum members, giving me between 300-500 points and some fuel. I don't have many forum visitors, probably because I don't yet have the desired planetariums, training centers, and astronaut academies. Not sure if I wanna give up those extra points or not.

Mark, looks like I had a non-forum neighbor join the launch overnight and put it in space. I've removed the players who joined our launch and added points so that it won't happen again. Regarding the oil refineries, I have a L1 and L2. In my mind, definitely worth the investment. I'm not yet upgrading my L1 because of other priorities. I don't think upgrading to L3 is worth the expense.

I'm having a lot of trouble collecting the space suits and lab notebooks needed for green and blue launches. I'm wondering if I should just save them up for our June flight schedule, rather than using them on the small item launches.

I have all of the other launch prep items in fairly large numbers. It's just the space suits and notebooks seem hard to come by. I'm regularly flying to Baikonur, North and South Observatories. Are there any other tricks to getting these?

 

[Davescharf]

I'm having the same issue on my fuel ring game. Just keep flying o those destinations and hit up the astronaut training centers of the people you visit

 

[PhactorPhil]

I've had the most success on Space Suits and Lab Notebooks from Cape Canaveral and neighbor's Training Centers.

 

[Mark carson]

I fly to The Cape daily sending 10-20 flights better drop rate for space suit quest I feel

I fly to Baikunor 5-10 daily

I fly to North and South once daily

I fly to Turkey 10-20 flights daily collecting Lamps

I collect treadmills as I have 6 stone castles
