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

Captain WH Rollins

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.

I sent a request to your WP account in case it was this one you are using - problem is I dont want to commit to a green launch unless I know for certain whose it is and the current state of play. If its already nearly finished then I wont take a chance but if there are a few hours likely to run then I would like to

Send invite to WP2.
It's a very slow launch prep with 22 hours left. Make sure you read Captain Rollins' guidelines before you commit...

 

[gbswales]

I have been searching but cant seem to find the friend code for the WP2 account so I sent @Wired Parrott a message a little while ago
Yes I know about the rules and have a lot of low value items so the sooner I can join it the more I can shift
Just these items Small Fuel Tank (6 points - 30 minutes), Additional Stabilalizer (12 points - 2 hours), Explosive Bolt (24 points - 4 hours) and Solid Fuel (12 points - 2 hours).

I completely forgot to get in on the action! Are you doing another next Friday?

Yes, every Friday at the same time.

Good! And thanks.

I started the space program, but does not give me the option to join a friend launch

Oh dear, that is really annoying, do not know what to suggest to you. Have just tried to key in your friends code with no luck.

 

[gorrion]

The same here.
Oh well, I'll wait for next week. Good luck guys

Oh dear, that is really annoying, do not know what to suggest to you. Have just tried to key in your friends code with no luck.

It seems I was in the same boat as @gorrion - I could not join the small resources green launch last Friday, nor could I join any other green launch. Must have been an April First glitch on GI's server. I'll try next Friday.

 

[Wired Parrott]

Last week was really on me with the timing mix up. I will definitely have the timing correct this week under WP2.

 

[Captain WH Rollins]

Because you were unable to join in you missed out on taking part in the nineth green flight and extend your lead at the top of the table. Why these things happen, I just don't know, but it's annoying when it does. This has been going on for a very long time with no fix insight.

Hello @Captain WH Rollins, the last two weeks I have not seen spaceship-launches-using-up-smaller-resources-items. Have gone underground?

Due to a number of issues which were all my doing they did not take place, I'm hoping to put things right from next week.
