Riding the Comet has started

Did for me.

Thanks... Will use it.

64 Green launches did it for me with lucky ticket. I think I completed 1 set of tasks too for the 5400 bonus which saved me 12 flights.

I think I did it with even less and I used a Lucky Ticket the whole time and I also had a 5400 bonus. I ended up needing only used one QL as well.

I think for a long time player who has stocked up on PEBs and other flight items and has more than 100 available GLs, it was a very fast event. In fact this is the fastest I can ever remember completing an event, for sure I was done in less than 12 hours start to finish.

But then it's like many events, some people have the right items ready to go. Even at my level there are events I barely complete in time unless I want to burn a lot of bonuses.

So, is "Visit a Townhouse x18" task for 400 meant for your *own* townhouses? Managed to find two among my neighbours and yet it didn't count.
To make things slightly more annoying, current task for 180 is "Visit a Townhouse x6" but at least this one seems to count.

Looks like I'll be ignoring the tasks altogether 🤷‍♂️ 😅

Edit: never mind, found thread with neighbours having townhouses. 3rd restart today and it appears to count now normally.
Edit: not counting again -_- This update for Windows is reeaally pushing it. I can pretend to stand radar and bonuses not popping up on click or nothing that happens upon trying to join launch. But these rare event items being counted selectively is... *sigh*

Not a big fan…. Hung up on Mission Control visits…. Only neighbour with a level 1 is the Small Village

So, the townhouse tasks? The "Visit a Townhouse x18" task for 400 counts 1 for every 3 townhouses clicked. If I visit a neighbour with 6 townhouses, I click all of them and on the task list it only says 2 were done. The one for 180 seems to count 1 for every 2 townhouses clicked. That or it's just randomly.

These two tasks were either poorly coded and/or poorly communicated.

Noticed this too. I ended up clicking buildings one at a time waiting for animation to complete. This seems to resolve the issue. BTW, similar problem is with clicking the factories. If I have 99 pills, I can quickly click several factories, and all but one pills are wasted. If I click slowly, then I get the warning saying something like "Are you sure you want to proceed? You will loose this item."

That's a nice discovery Will be more patient in the future to possibly avoid mentioned scenarios.

Got the space research building but not clear with the test launch item that speeds up rocket launch by 15%. What happens if 10 members group launched with each using the test launch item. Does this mean the group launch will be shortened by 150% (10x15%)? How will this be impacted if one of the members used a QL?

Don't know the answer but I think this bonus may work not cumulative.
Something like...
First bonus 24h-15%=20,4h
2nd bonus 20,4h-15%=17,34h
3rd bonus 17,34h-15%=14,74h
4th bonus 14,74h-15%=12,5h
5- 10,65h
6- 9,05h
7- 7,69h
8- 6,54h
9- 5,55h
10- 4,72h

Hope I'm wrong.

4 Test Launches do have a return time of 12.5 hours, and I think 2 & 3 TLs are correct in the table too. I haven’t run any other combinations.

I would bet you are not wrong - QLs work exactly this way so no reason for similar bonuses to work differently.
