Launch thread

[Mark carson]

Visiting neighbors' cosmic fuel stations is my preferred way to get field rations. I have 31 field rations but only 4 each of lab notebooks and space suits!

Thanks I'll do that see if I can get some

 

[Davescharf]

Ok...Blue on the pad and 576 in. Feel free to join but save space for @Mark carson. Won't take too much to go if we have 3-4 flyers

 

[Davescharf]

Mark if you are going to do green maps you'd better have 2000-3000 units of fuel saved up depending on how many flights you intend to run. I was trying to run 100 flights on a map so it was 5100 units.

The maps last 3 hours and the flights are 3 hours so to run any decent number and get drops you will have to have a good number of planes going. It will be 51 units a flight plus a landing lamp. You also need 38 passengers per flight.

Haven't run purple maps get but assuming you only need jets you are looking at 3000-4000 units minimum (about 70-80 units per flight) and 80 passengers. I think you need spare wires for those but I haven't confirmed

Will join the blue and put a few in

Did you inherit Falcon's double posting? Hope it isn't contagious

I'll top it off in the morning if it hasn't launched.

 

[Blue Jay]

No lol hotel wifi went a bit skewy

 

[Mark carson]

Crikey I'll leave maps for now

Im very sorry I've added points but I'm at 698 but sitting In first place by accident powerful bolt did it

Now others have added so Dave cannot be first so I'll top it off launch it
@Davescharf

When it returns I'll do prep a Blue one so Dave can get first spot on it's then fair is that ok

Hi gang!

Sorry I haven't replied for last couple of days ... work project has kept me busy!

Here's an updated schedule now that @Jenn12345 can participate on Blue launches and @Robobobo888 has joined our group. I also added information on space preparations.

For @Jenn12345 and @Robobobo888, these are the launch guidelines the group has agreed to. Please do share your feedback!

Guidelines
1) Player scheduled for first should open the pad and post the pad is open.
Q: What happens if I'm scheduled to be first and don't have the necessary items to open the pad?
A: Post in this private thread and another player can opt to take first and open the pad
2) Player who tops off the balance and launches posts the flight has left
3) Once the spacecraft is on the pad and first has put in the desired points, all other slots are open.
Remember, we're playing as a group, so be respectful and allow others to rotate the 2nd and 3rd slots.
4) Not every player in our group has to join every launch. This is simply an opportunity to know when a launch is planned where you know you're welcome to join.

Sorry for the long read, folks, just wanting to catch up.

On a side note, I'm benching myself on space launches for a few days in order to build up supplies ... they are pathetically low. If anyone gets in a bind and needs me to top off before time expires, let me know. Otherwise, don't plan on me joining launches for a few days

Enjoy your flights!

Hey all I'm opening for red and if there isn't one going, I'll get one started!

 

[Mark carson]

We have launched at 7.40am UK Time

Apologies again my miscalculation pressed wrong bolt

I will repay the spot to Dave on the return flight Dave

Don't worry about it. I actually want to open a green in the morning so and others can join it if you'd like. I'll post some when I do but I'll be asleep when this one comes back

 

[Mark carson]

Ok are we doing green this morning I'm ready to join a colour today

 

[Robobobo888]

It'll probably launch before I wake up. Then again, often my cat plays hop-on-pop at dawn and then I can't always get back to sleep

 

[Mark carson]

I cannot do green as no field ration so need to join a Blue Launch who's in today for blue Launch

 

[Davescharf]

Green is on the pad. There will be a pretty high number of points on it within the hour so it won't take much to launch it.

 

[Davescharf]

1192/1600 in on the green. There's an easy 3rd place for anyone wanting it

[Mark carson]

Crap can't join not hit prep still do t have field ration

I'll have to launch a Blue instead add poins all day to it

Happy flight guys

 

[Davescharf]

@Blue Jay i won't be home until pretty late tonight but I'll finish it off if it's still there for some reason. You or anyone else though can launch it if you want. I don't mind if it takes hours as a way to save up larger items
