Spaceflight suggestion

[gbswales]

When starting a space flight you are given the option of joining a neighbours launch or starting your own. However it seems you have to commit to joining the launch before you know the state of it. I just joined one of my neighbours only to find that they had only put in about 20% of the points needed for the launch and with only a few hours left I didnt have enough resources to prevent the launch from failing. I think that we should either be able to to withdraw from a launch or view the state of play before joining. I lost the four collections needed to join as there was nothing I could do in the timescale to save it. All that is needed is an extra confirmation step which allows you to change your mind if the launch doesnt look viable.

I for one wont take the risk of joining anyone elses launch but will rather start my own when unlessI am fairly sure I have enough items to complete it myself should the need arise. It's a learning curve and I am learning! My exoerience with this one was tarnished because I had no idea of what I items I needed to put in until after I joined - this was my first launch attempt.

curious what did you get them from?

the 2 codes we were given by GI - each gave 2000 coins & 3 greenies

*delta404*

not sure about that - I don't view this as a competetive game more as a relaxing therapeutic passtime that I can carry out on one screen whilst doing work or whatever on the other. For me the most enjoyable games are easy to play - like match 3 games but only if they have a relaxed mode with no timer! I wasn't allowed to play sports as a child, for health reasons, and a consequence of this is that I do not really have a competetive gene!

I said nothing about competition. But let's take a look at Solitaire or Mahjong: the only thing interesting in those game is that you don't win every time. It is easy, relaxed game with no timer - but you can still lose. If you would be winning all the time, there would be no point in playing.
Launch is IMHO more cooperative than competitive - but it's still a game inside a game, a task than can be fulfilled or failed if you don't pay attention. That's what makes game a game.

Do it when have golden dice active and you will get much more than 15 items.

Editing: @M22 always faster than me.

Wow that is two good tips from here inm two days - first about the free cash codeds and the suggesdtion about using golden dice. Absolutely right that they also increase drops when visiting neighbours though oddly I didmt see any improvement to flight drops! However by coveing two collection periods I got so many completed collections that got bored opeing all the space flight toolboxes. I almost doubled my collection of space items in the 16 visits - will definitely use the precious greenies for this from now on.
