Spaceship Launches: Using Up Smaller Resource Items

[Captain WH Rollins]

Dear Flyers

If your like me and you have been playing Airport City for quite sometime, then you would have built up healthy supplies of resource items used in fueling your Spaceship Launches.

I'm referring in particular to the following four resource items - Additional Stabilalizer (123), Explosive Bolt (128), Small Fuel Tank (29) and Solid Fuel (331). These resources are normally left over because of the time it takes, a few hours, before you are able to select them again having waited for the items to become available.

I've not included the remaining three resource items, which make up the entire range, Large Fuel Tank, Main Stabilalizer and Powerful Explosive Bolt, simply because they have a far greater value and are more frequently used when launches are opened.

I'm sure there are many forum members who are in a similar position. With that in mind, I would like to try and use up these smaller resources, by opening up a green launch (1600 limit the smallest available) and leaving the launch open for almost 24 hours or when a flight is ready for launch, whichever comes first.

It will, of course, not be possible to use up all these resource items in just one launch, so there would need to be quite a few, over many days if not many weeks.

I would be very interested to know what members think. For this to work we would need to have an understanding, that this is about using up all those smaller resource items and not about securing first, second or third place as such. The only problem that I can see would be those, non forum members, who could take advantage, because they are not up to speed and/or not concerned.

I very much look forward to reading your thoughts on this matter. To my way of thinking it is a great waste of unused resources, which should be used. All those involved would benefit in the long run which can't be a bad thing.

Regards

A while ago you expressed an interest in joining - Spaceship Launches: Using Up Smaller Resource Items - just to let you know the fifth flight takes place this Friday 5pm GMT London UK time. The green launch will be opened by Wired Parrot - you are welcomed to join in if you are still interest. This is a long term series of flights where you convert your small resource items - Small Fuel Tank, Additional Stabilalizer, Explosive Bolt and Solid Fuel - into money, which adds up over a number of flights.

Alas not enough patience or time for me but good luck!

So unfair - you guys do all your talking while I'm still asleep! But it was nice to wake up to a launch!

Hello, you are third during this fifth flight, that's pretty good. Hope you had a good sleep.

Hello, you are third during this fifth flight, that's pretty good. Hope you had a good sleep.

Actually, that's GREAT! Can't go wrong with these smaller resource launches. Every bit helps working toward that Grand Hotel.

Yes, had a great sleep. Rained all night. At least we're making a dent in the drought.

Spaceship Launches: Using Up Smaller Resource Items

Seven completed green flights, in this series, have now taken place and the combined statistical data table list's the flyers and each of their results. Of the seven flights to date, two were perfect, the rest were unfortunately not so perfect.

Although it was very tempting to remove the anomolies in red and re-number the flyers positions, in the end I decided it was not my place to fiddle with the table, so I've posted the table as it is, I could not have done anything less:

Flyers League Table

Thanks for this.
The table shows that I earned reward chests; I'll have to check next time I join a launch; but I don't think I get any chests. I think only higher positions are awarded the chests.

Is the time when it starts, or when it takes off?

 

[Wired Parrott]

The time is when it starts 5 PM GMT / 1 PM EDT It should last quite a few hours, not sure how long it
may take as we are supposed to have new players joining.

 

[Captain WH Rollins]

Is the time when it starts, or when it takes off?

It's when the launch opens at 5pm GMT London time, it's always on the same day Friday and the same time, that way flyers can plan their gaming week.
