I cannot do red launches

 

[Mark carson]

How about flights on these days I cannot do ress so omit me that day

Mon Green
We'd Blue
Fri Red

Too 8 rotate in sequence
1st place is who launches like Blue then 2-8 follow in that order
Then next launch is next person in the sequence so Blue moves to the back and keep rotating
Eventually Blue would be back to 1st after the 7/8 players done his her launch

How about that means everyone gets a slot between 1-8 after 8 launches then start again

Thoughts??

@PhactorPhil I'm fairly new at the space flight thing and don't know exactly what to expect but as long as I can keep getting flight kits together I'd like to keep one in the air every day. I don't really care what color. I really do like the idea of organizing the launches and everybody being on the same page with who takes what position. If you read some of my posts from the red launch last night you already know that I'm still trying to figure out the ethics and standard operating procedure for launching and when it's OK to pass someone up.

As long as i have the kit for greens and blues i am fine joining

 

[FlyingFalcon]

Several of us just got back from the red launch. Any plans for the next one? Are we going back up or wait?

 

[Blue Jay]

Can set one up if you like, think i have at least one of each colour

 

[FlyingFalcon]

I just put a red on the pad so jump on in.

 

[Davescharf]

I put a few points in but with the intention that some of you can pass me up.

As far as the ethics...it's simple
1. First to 576 shouldn't be passed unless they say all spots are open or some other arrangements are made.
2. Usually most other spots are open. I'd prefer we leave all spots besides 1st open in this group.

I'm always fine launching other colors than red too. Don't always have the kits but I do collect the maps to get the goodies and the QLs. It's so much easier to get Red kits and the rewards are bigger so that's why many people want to fly them, but we should do different colors to keep everyone involved

Thanks for that clear explanation on the ethics part - thar sounds good to me.

I can do 2 green or blue launches - someone call it and take first. I'll just tag along since I'm taking first in this red launch.

 

[Davescharf]

I got sick of waiting for the guys putting 50-100 points in and nothing else so I launched it

 

[PhactorPhil]

Thanks for the feedback gang! It seems like we agree on these points:

• A schedule allows us to plan ahead
• Reds are preferred due to higher rewards and better space prep inventory
• Mark Carson isn't quite ready for Reds yet
• Daily flights are preferred

I'll work on a plan to present to our group over the next few days as time allows. We can then decide to adjust, move forward, or abandon the concept.

I've messaged @Jenn12345, but haven't heard back yet if she'd like to participate.

Happy flying everyone!!

Got Question

If I buy more catering facilities does it mean I produce two at a time if I have two buildings

Also Fuel if I buy another oil refinery etc

 

[Davescharf]

Yes, you can get more catering by building more facilities or upgrading your current ones. You can build 6 facilities so you can get 6 every 12 hours. Upgrading the existing buildings will give you more per 12 hours but they cost greenies

I believe refineries are cumulative but I think you can only buy a couple different ones. From there you'd have to upgrade

For anyone interested I have a green on the launch pad. Adding points now to it...a little more than 600 left to go to launch

 

[Mark carson]
