Red Launch Red Rocket Carnival: Weekdays From Cape Carnival

[Navigata07]

For all those who

Oh.. Are you sure ?
I really appreciate that but i don't want to cause difficulty to you.
Unless it won't affect you...

It wont. I have plenty (although I require more for some things in the future), but for now I'm more than good. Besides, its a one time thing to help you out.

I think this is the main reason most people are launching here.

I have a potential idea. If you get 12 participants for one launch, what if we split it into two rockets. You'll host one and I can host the other (I think I'm neighbors with everyone who launches here regularly except some of the support accounts). This way we can have twice as many people in the top positions and getting drops. There were 11 people today and I would have been available to launch but didn't since I would have been below 8th. We may not get 12 participants very often, but we could maximize drops on these days without a lot of extra LFT loading.

There's never been this much participation before. Thoughts?

I was thinking along those lines in terms of 2 rockets, but it could get quite complex with such an extensive list going on. I think that may be a long term solution, but for now, I want to make sure that everyone is using all the available resources to get gold tokens.
If we consistently have 10 people launching, then we definitely can split into two rockets permanently, as a 5 man launch is doable.

Hallelujah ... what a great innovation ... now the odds are improved for all of us! I’m happy to host as well and don’t mind a heavy lift once in a while!!!!

@Rico Nob, @novagator, @Dalija and for anyone else below 100 gold tokens, red launches will certainly help you to get gold tokens, but if this is the only way you're getting them, then you will take forever to get to 100. There are two additional ways to get gold tokens, and you should be doing all 3:
1) Red Rockets - The main reason we are all here. Waterworld will give you 3 tokens per completion, but those drops do take a while, and gathering can be slow unless youre doing captain for every launch. It is a method you should use, but it shouldn't be your only method.
2) Weekly Rankings - Get in the top 3 of a flight destination each week. 3rd gets you one gold token, 2nd gets you 2, and 1st gets you 3. Some routes are easier than others, so find your destination and dedicate a good portion of your fleet to it.
3) Adventure flights -This is by far the most difficult, but by far the most rewarding. You will need to save up lots of fuel for these mapped flights, but completing the collections and getting the buildings, you can get a good amount of tokens that way (every completion gets you one token, and you get even more once you complete the 5 sets for each grouping....hard to explain).
If you guys have specific questions about any of the methods listed, send me a PM and I will try to explain more if needed. I will most likely just point you to a guide to read, but it may be able to explain things in more detail.

It's certainly doable as @Ssam04 stated, but I would need the 2nd rocket to be reliable in being available. We could have two lists, and fill the spots based on which rocket it's available on. The Captain's Queue would remain the same, except the list would move 2 at a time except for on fridays and mondays when I would take captain on my rocket. I need for the Carnival to keep up at this level for a while before doing that. If in 2 weeks time this level of activity keeps up, then I will certainly implement it

 

[Navigata07]

Maybe have @Ssam04 as the main host for the 2nd rocket, and you @Aviatrix as the 2nd host, as I am in communication with you both frequently in the Alliance

This is a truly perfect refinement to your already beautifully designed launch system. With @Ssam04 and I coordinating our schedules I seen no reason why a 2nd Carnival Rocket wouldn’t always be available.

 

[MikeH]

@Navigata07 Well, I am really impressed how you think of everything and are able to manage that. So two launches seem realistic under your guidance I think.

I agree. I think we can certainly pull it off. It's the consistent participation that concerns me....even though the Carnival has been quite active since the Captain's Queue has been implemented

Thanks I appreciate it. Im starting to believe in it the more I think about it.

 

[Navigata07]

With a second rocket managed by both @Ssam04 and @Aviatrix, the friday and monday launches on the second rocket would be open to the Queue, which means a faster rotation through the list. Crap im actually starting to like the idea

I was going to suggest that we should consider a second rocket launch if we continue to have 11 or 12 folks everytime.

I have gotten a lot my tokens from QL launches on the weekend.

Yes the idea crossed my mind, but with how the Carnival started last year, I didn't expect for it to gain thus much traction though I thought it was such a great idea. I haven't come across anyone who regularly participates that hasn't benefit greatly from it.

Most of us do that...which is why I break on weekends to take a breather or hop on QL runs.

Guys, if anyone has less than 100 gold tokens, please let me know in the thread. Trying to get a tally of where people are in terms of getting Waterworld drops.

Main game 15
Support game 2

If you are referring to the potential two red launches (you and @Ssam04 ) and the ways to earn gold tokens, then I have read them, but subsequent to my post.

I think the two launches are a good idea. I can split my games between them. Sounds like a plan to me.

And while I am on launches, I will not be flying tomorrow (sorry). I have a lunch date with my daughter and granddaughter. MUCH more important!
