Can some one explain a ql party please
I understand it means the ql bonus
But if one person has the ql bonus active for the launch does everyone in the launch get there space ship flights sped up or just the person who has the ql active ??

A QL party is when multiple people with QLs join in the launch. People with no QLs can join in too! I sent you a neighbor request so you can join in.

AS launching is team effort, effect from one is affecting all participants. QL shorten the time for space launch for 90%. More QLs shorter the time to land - without QL launch last 24 hours, with 1 QL launch is 2h 23 minutes, with 2 launch is 14 minutes, with 3 is 1m 40 seconds, with 4 it is 8 seconds (basically the time you see in animation when your rocket takes off).

Oh wow cool

We had as many as 6 QLs in our launches yesterday. That's the highest I've seen but I'm sure people have seen more.

I think we launched 31 or 32 times in the 2.5 hours I was setting them up. We had someone who didn't read the rules and tried to hijack 2 flights as well. They were successful on one but not the second

Just curious, what are the rules for taking first, second, third etc places in QL party? Random, round robin, something different?

 

[Andy Reed]

There are not really any set rules, in some cases the person who set up the launch puts 574 this means first place is up for grabs, other ql party's will ask if anyone wants first then they will plan for you to come first, this don't really answer your question cause each players ql's have different rules they will normally post rules on here

@Brodyaga Most "QL Partys" are not pre-arranged, just someone opens and then a few QLs join - most all following the 576 rule. Most regular openers rarely go for 1st so it's up for the taking, although they may take the odd 1st place.

The person who organizes the launch sets the rules. Sometimes it's free for all - so you take places by observing others and according to your intution. Sometimes the launch is strictly coordinated by a designated person and he calls out who's taking 1/2/3 in current round. So you submit your request how many what places you want and will be called out when your turn comes.
Usually it's a kind of round-robin among few players who are actually willing to spend the points, while others coast on the places 4th and down, burning the most abundant and least valuable fuel.

The typical rules are that #1 puts slightly more than 1000 points (what requires 2 PEBs, quite expensive), places #2 and #3 (same rewards so no competition here) put bit over 500 points (that' every item once, including PEB) and hopefully there will be nearly 10 people on distant places to put 96 points each (every low value item once) to accrue the remaining ~1000 points. So, by observing how much a person had added right after joining, you can tell where is he aiming at.

And of course, the most important rule: DON'T CLOSE UNTIL ALL QLs JOIN!

So my advice for you is to join and put 96 points. Unless it'd cause it to close. If you put even less, nobody will frown.
