Launch thread

[Blue Jay]

Thought i would set up a private thread for us to do the launches, as soon as i hear from @Matt i will set up a blue or green launch. Hope that's ok with you both. If you know of anybody else who would like to join let me know.

 

[Matt]

Hey man! Ready when you are!

 

[Blue Jay]

Of will set a green one up now

 

[Blue Jay]

Just realised must_dash posted another Area 51 thread for us that i completely forgot about. I will pm him to see if he is interested in joining us

 

[Matt]

Cool. I'll give it a few minutes then join.

 

[Matt]

I'm in. Not fussed about where to place. Shall we say whoever opens it takes first?
Easy either way.

 

[Blue Jay]

I don't mind, i am not in a big need for the maps atm

 

[Davescharf]

I'll go take 1st then if it's available..going now

 

[Davescharf]

We are launched.

I have one more setup for green and blue (darn spacesuits) so I'll be trying to get more tonight. Someone can take the next first.

 

[Blue Jay]

I think i have about 7 of each green and blue, got hundreds of reds ready

 

[Matt]

Nice filling there Dave!
I'm got a stack of blues and 3 greens. If you guys want to do a red, no probs as and when.
I can take a lead on one launch if that's ok. Not had many big ones in my launch readys recently...

 

[Matt]

Two questions. I have some maps, nagoyo, Perth and sacramento. But I've never used a map before and going through all the destinations in all the categories, I can't see where to use them?

If you buy a QL for 350 greenies, is that forever?

 

[Davescharf]

QLs last for 24 hours. Easiest way to get them is with the maps.

The way you use them is to activate them from your warehouse. Then they show up at the top of you flight list for the duration of the map.

Ive only done the green 3 hour maps so far and I use about half the time on them. I buy a golden dice and accelerate the flights. You can do 100 flights with 3800 passengers and 5100 units of fuel. The blue and red maps last longer but require a lot more fuel and passengers. I will always accept Fuel 20 from anyone for this reason.

As far as the next launch Matt first is yours. BlueJay and I have each taken a first now so it would be your turn. Nice thing about green launches with 3 people is 576 is enough for a first place. Even with blue you're close to 2000 even with a small amount

 

[Davescharf]

Forgot to mention the green maps also require landing lamps so you'd need one for every flight. I send flights to turkey every day to build mine up, so I think I have 150-200 in my warehouse. Since you get one on every flight there I have no need for them as gifts.

Cheers Dave, it actually seems like a whole lot of work for not much to compete the map routes!!!!
And that QL is super expensive for Obe days worth!! Deffo just stick to getting it as a reward.

I think when I finish my map runs I'll have 5 or 6 QLs off one of each map. Given launches are back in under 3 hours it's another aspect of the game

 

[Blue Jay]

We're back, let me know what colour (color @Davescharf ) you want setting up next unless one of you guys want to set up

 

[Matt]

Hey! I can get a blue going?

 

[Blue Jay]

Sorry got caught up with work. Ok set one off, your turn for first

 

[Davescharf]

I'll join in a couple hours when I'm back by my iPad.
