Launch thread

Thanks @Davescharf!

I am due back in 30 minutes and am just checking to see what everyone is doing. Seems like everyone is on their own launches right now. I'll wait to launch for a while to join up with someone.

[Matt]

Hey all.
I've been getting some really bad results on my launch readies the last few days and to top it off I have been mixing up planetariums with training centres as don't have a space suit to open green or blue with. Nevertheless once I get a suit I'll jump on and join.
In the meanwhile please feel free to hijack any reds I open. been getting alot of firsts recently due to randoms joining so not needing much to take first. Just go over what I put in and I'll be happy with a few lower places.
Ty!!

 

[Matt]

Thanks Mark!!

 

[Mark carson]

Ok gifts all sent

I'm starting green Launch

I'm focussing on green launches and obtaining Landing Lamps from Turkish flights so I can do green maps to obtain QL

 

[PhactorPhil]

Thanks, @Matt. I joined your red and took 1st. 914 points to go with 13 hours, 15 minute left to go on the clock

 

[PhactorPhil]

Hey @Mark carson I went to join your Green launch, but it looks like it has already left for space.

 

[Mark carson]

We just launched not so long ago was trying to get someone with a QL but had to launch

 

[Davescharf]

Phil - I don't think I responded to your calendar. My apologies in not doing so sooner.

I have a couple questions/comments

1. What happens if the first scheduled for taking first doesn't have a kit for the color?

2. Should we just say the person starting the launch takes first and we leave the other spots open? Scheduling 1-7 seems like it could create issues if someone can't launch for whatever reason. It would simplify your spreadsheet too. I trust we can self regulate ourselves on the other positions

3. Along the lines of #2, it would then need to be communicated by someone in the launch that thescheduled one is gone so people don't get stuck.

All great questions, Dave. I really haven't thought too far into details ... I was just attempting to pick up the conversation again.

1. What happens if the first scheduled for taking first doesn't have a kit for the color?
My thought here is that if the player scheduled for first isn't able to open the pad due to lack of resources, s/he should simply post in our private thread, and then maybe first come, first serve? I wouldn't want to make this initiative more complex by trying to track if/when folks swap positions due to lack of resources.

2. Should we just say the person starting the launch takes first and we leave the other spots open? Scheduling 1-7 seems like it could create issues if someone can't launch for whatever reason. It would simplify your spreadsheet too. I trust we can self regulate ourselves on the other positions
I'm totally good with this

3. Along the lines of #2, it would then need to be communicated by someone in the launch that the scheduled one is gone so people don't get stuck.
Totally agree. Whomever ends up topping it off and sending into space should post in our private thread that it is off the ground.

And secret satellite launches tonight ??
