Mothership schedule suggestion

[GeorgeSkywalker]

Many people using the Monria mothership scheduled service need to take loot to Calypso to sell on the main market there. Currently because the schedule is organised in such a way that Calypso is visited somewhere in the middle of the schedule means anyone wanting to travel to Calypso after it's been visited (Rocktropia, Cyrene, Next Island) will incur an additional charge of 7 peds from using tp from Monria to Calypso. The other alternative would be to wait till the next scheduled flight and take the loot then from Monria to Calypso. This alternative however is not practical for most people.

So a simple suggestion is to visit Calypso near the end of the schedule. Such that travellers from every planet get a chance to leave at Calypso (and join back should they wish to do so). So in this proposed schedule the schedule may look like this:

• ---> 19:00 Monria to Toulan -- first summons 18:45 -- final summons 18:55 game time
• ---> 19:30 Toulan to Arkadia -- first summons 19:15 -- final summons 19:25 game time
• ---> 20:00 Arkadia to Rocktropia -- first summons 19:45 -- final summons 19:55 game time
• ---> 20:30 Rocktropia to Cyrene -- first summons 20:15 -- final summons 20:25 game time
• ---> 21:00 Cyrene to Next Island -- first summons 20:45 -- final summons 20:55 game time
• ---> 21:30 Next Island to Calypso -- first summons 21:15 -- final summons 21:25 game time
• ---> 22:00 Calypso to Toulan -- first summons 21:45 -- final summons 21:55 game time
• ---> 22:30 Toulan to Monria -- first summons 22:15 -- final summons 22:25 game time

In this schedule a traveller going from every place (Monria, Toulan, Arkadia, Rocktropia, Cyrene and Next Island) have the opportunity to offload their loot on Calypso without incurring an additional 7 ped charge.

This seems like a great idea. Still maintains stops at the beginning and end for Monria/Toulan and allows for going back to Monria/Toulan afterwards from Calypso. Unless there is a reason I am not aware of for keeping Calypso in the middle of the warp schedule...


This is the way!

I'll address this first chance I get.

They may have placed Calypso near the middle to allow travellers to take loot from Calypso to some popular destinations e.g. Cyrene, Next Island. If Calypso is moved near the end then won't be able to take loot from Calypso to those places.

Most people don't need to take loot from Calypso. Hence, won't be loosing much.

Personally I travel in a quad from Calypso to any other place as I'm not carrying any loot.

With the proposed schedule you could take loot from Calypso but would need to do two runs. First run to transfer loot to Monria/Toulan then next run transfer to where you actually want it to go to.

Due my real life work I use the Mothership Service just to fly from Toulan to Monria... anyway the proposed schedule looks very good to me, collect sellable loot from other planets and move it to Calypso is good and the possibility to fly directly from Calypso to Toulan is also great
