POLL ... Proposed change to the Yamato Warp Schedule

[DarkMoonEnigma]

It was proposed that we move our Calypso stop to the end of the warp schedule route after Howling Mine and before Toulan and Monria and I want to get a consensus from the community if this is something that would work for them, especially from the shop owners at all 3 of our locations to make sure it won't disrupt their progress and how they do business. Our new players, and our shop owners are our priorities, so we want to make sure we accommodate them appropriately.

Please reply to the poll so that I can make a decision as to where we go from here. I will leave the poll open for 10 days so that our shop owners have an opportunity to respond and then give consideration to change or not to change.

I kept the poll options simple, but you can always add a comment in this thread as well.

Thank You

It is free to teleport from Monria SS to Calypso as of the latest patch. By placing the Calypso stop first, there is the added benefit of having it before and after the route.

There is a very good point being made here.

I have updated the poll and following are the 3 options for clarity ...

• leave the Yamato warp schedule route as is with no changes
• move the Calypso stop to the end after Howling Mine and before the last Toulan and Monria stops that end the schedule
• move the Calypso stop to the beginning right after the Monria and Toulan stop.
• the Yamato warp schedule starts and ends at Monria

For anyone who already voted, you can change your votes.

It is free to teleport from Monria SS to Calypso as of the latest patch. By placing the Calypso stop first, there is the added benefit of having it before and after the route.

I propose the following order:
Monria>Caly>Toulan>Howling Mine>Rocktropia>Cyrene>Arkadia>Next Island>Toulan>Monria.

Ideally, All merchants would gather on Calypso and depart headed to Toulan as the shortest route. Then they can visit all other planets with drop-off at Toulan and Monria at the end, with a free teleport if needed back to Calypso. At this point all lootable items are delivered and remaining players can safely travel on their own. Toulani who are not merchants can wait for last leg of route to avoid the long ride.

This route provides preference for Toulani and Monrian players seeking access to Howling Mine without the full round trip. It also provides a short route for our neighbors on Next Island.

The one thing we won't do is change the beginning and end Toulan and Monria stops ... we support our shop owners and Toulan has to be in the beginning after Monria, as well as at the end before Monria. With your proposed change, our shop owners from Toulan won't have an opportunity to do business at Calypso before the end of the warp route.

With the current warp route, Monria, Toulan and Larches Green shop owners have access to Howling Mine, as well as all other planets before returning home at the end of the warp schedule. With the options I have listed, that is the route we're going to go so that it gives the least disruption.

The other thing I will mention again is that we have to keep in mind the regular routine our shop owners have established with their trade business and the time they have available to accomplish what they need to do in order to restock their shops. I want to minimize any potential disruption so that it doesn't hinder their efforts.

The 3 options are listed and I hope more shop owners will chime in on what works best for them ... I'm going to contact them individually to encourage them to engage in the poll.
