No, not neighbors with Katti. And I personally don't need them, I have MCC 3 on both of my accounts.

I was offering @spearman78 the option of sending me Offset Gregorian antennas to Ten, I will hit send in return, and he will receive an Offset Gregorian antenna, as that's the gift I used to have. And if he sends me an Offset Gregorian antenna to Ten2, I'll hit send in return and he will receive a Yagi Uda antenna, as that's the gift I used to have on that game.

I understood this, that is why I tagged Spearman first Sorry for the the confusion.
I just wanted to mention, that Spearman does not have to send antennas to you, which you don't need. Instead he should send them to Katti as she will need his antennas ans she will return her OG-antennas

Sorry, I originally thought it WAS from @spearman78... My mistake.

Whatever way is easier for him is fine with me. I've got enough of all antennas from doing the send in return thing that I could probably construct 3 more MCC3's if they let me.

Thanks for all the received gifts, send mine also and started a new list.
From Thursday until Saturday we are a few days away, take my tablet with me but don't know if I have wifi there, so it's not sure that I can send my gifts out, otherwhise I'll be back on Sunday.

Another 90.000 coins needed for upgrading my town hall.

@David Toad : no problems, will send you a gift in my next gifting, do you still need cash counter?

Please let me know if you want something specific from my list. I want also return gifts for future upgrades which I don't have yet but if I'll return them you see what you get and so I start already collecting those items for future upgrades. Please tag me if you want me to return your gift.

I hate situations like the one I find myself in now. I wanted to launch a new red spaceflight but saw there was one there which had very recently opened so joined that instead. The person initiating had posted 734 points so I added 696 and messaged them to ask what plans there were for the launch. A while later there had been no reply and no more points loaded so I added another 40 which just took me into first temporarily , thinking that would prompt them to post more. Still nothing in reply.
Obviously I would like to take first but will be happy to stay in second if the initiator wants first - if I just leave it I could be pushed back into 4th if others join the launch but if I add enough to guarantee second/third place then several other people could join and finish it leaving me in first leaving me looking like a hijacker.
This is why I really keep wishing that people would post their intentions in the space launch forums. I understand the arguments against this but feel that the interests of all players are best served by doing this.

How long do you think I should wait (in the absence of a reply to my message) before assuming that they are not concerned about taking first place?

I usually make that dependent on how long that other flight was already open. When you say it was just opened, wait an hour. At best, you know what timezone that player is in. If he is very likely to be asleep, take 1st. because then he could hav eput enough in to take 1st before he goes to bed. The same is true for a launch that is already 8 hours open. That is enough time to take 1st yourself, and you should be aware that in that long time frame someone could have joined who would do so
By the way, I have all the Radars know, thank you @gbswales !! I could use 1x fkight goggles, but I think I can help you first with your Town Hall stuff, if you want to? Send me Laptop and I will return hopefully something you need

 

[gbswales]

I see you have added a few more points so will hold fire for now to give you time to establish first place

 

[Airport Arne]

I??

 

[gbswales]

This isn't the space forum but I am in a red launch that only needs 208 points to finish and take first place - to access it you will need to be a neighbour of SantelYagiUda. I thought that maybe there might be someone sitting on s QL, or not, looking for an easy place.

 

[spearman78]

I will send you yagi uda 4 times, if you would be so kind to return it ?

Of course. Thanks!

 

[spearman78]

@spearman78 - I can also send in return on Ten with Offset Gregorians, and Ten2 can send in return Yagi Udas. Just another option for you.

I may well take you up on that. Thanks fire the offer!

 

[Ten33go]

I may well take you up on that. Thanks fire the offer!

Just returned from Ten. 1 Offset Gregorian down.

Returned from Ten2. 1 Yagi Uda down.

 

[Ten33go]

@WAMike - If you send Ten what you have on Cyclone4, I'll send in return and you'll get your Hardness Tester. *S*

Since upgrading to Windows 10 yesterday, I've notice the game does not always open up and load first time round. Sometimes, you have to click on the game icon a number of times before it final opens and loads. I'm assuming this will settle down in time and all will be well.

Windows 10 is not so pleasing on the eye.

Many thanks - I am OK for Cash Counters now (thankyou everyone!). I am building some of the launch stuff and now require two Dispatcher Consoles for the Mission Control Centre. I'll then be on here again pestering you good people about rocket launches.

I had the same problem where the game wouldn't load straightaway, although the worst case was only 3 times.

I think when you start up the computer/device with the intention of playing the game, the natural inclination is to try to load it at the earliest opportunity.

I now wait at least 5 minutes for Windows10 and Anti-Virus to settle down before opening the game, which then opens first time.

Worth a try ?

Good morning and many thanks for your information. The game open first time, this time round. I did wait a few minutes, so you may well be right. I will keep an eye on this during the next few days. Thanks once again.

My early morning neighbours plunder brought in 27,200 coins and 17 launch ready blue chests, of which just 5 (large fuel tank's x2, main stabilizer x2 and Powerful Explosive Bolt x1) were high valued resources. I've finished gifting my 20 neighbours gifts for today, Thursday 28th July. My thanks for all the gifts received.

Control Tower L9 - 2 days and 17 hours remaining - this game really does test your patience.
