Warpflights on the Normandie - faster, cheaper and safer then any other form of transport ?

Well you can still "cheat" your way to shortcut by killing the game after you cross server borders, relog and revive at closest point i.e. spacestation. This is not intended, though my guess is that blocked feature of teleporting from vehicle is basicly meant for planetside PvP while miners could hide in a tank and teleport their way out of hot-zone unharmed while being attacked sort of.

i was aware of the disconect just not an option for me as can be considered as cheat
 
so now that you got what you wanted and made space lnger as we can´t T and make lose hours, what are you going to do? your services are unsificient and lacking, you buy other MS but dont even use a tiny percentage the old one, not renewimg my suscription as for now
Ms and travel services sucks most of the time is a pain to find anyone that can take you other than the same competing hours of 19-21 ma, space conections sucks
thanxs for more wasted time

Sorry to hear that you are unhappy about the removal of T Boardian, we might have a different opinion about the intended use of revivals ingame and Mindark seems to agree with my point of view, but thats no reason to be mad at me.
However about the service we have always carried you to your targets as per schedule with a higher accuracy then any other scheduled service could claim to perform. I have adjusted schedules based on the provided feedback as you needed them and even flown you as vip for just 20 peds a few times at offhours through space, which is cheaper then anywhere else. So if you have any transport needs that you feel unmatched you could just let me know like you did before.

Unfortunately as up till now MA had only allowed the owner to add people to the guest list or summon - then it was always going to be impossible for one person to run a comprehensive 24/7 schedule. ( even though John has hardly taken a day off from it yet!)

However we take pride in the very large, comprehensive and reliable schedule we currently have and have always tried to facilitate your needs where possible Boardian.

With these new developments in space, namely the Public access, there may be new ways of opening up new schedules at times where John cannot be there.

However these things will of course take testing, and time to establish proper crew to handle such schedules.

It is unfortunate that when competitors began to spring up around us that many chose to fly on the same time zones as we do, however again, public access options may change this.


It’s unfortunate that you feel upset about the change to pressing T in space Boardian, However you have always been a valued customer of ToS, and we value your feedback, please get in touch so we can discuss what options you think would help your situation.

Thanks.
 
T removal is fine with me, now bring the removal of the 0.0 cheat repair monopoly, why just stop and ask for stuff that beneficts you? want to be fair? remove it or add the "feature""cheat" to all vehicules

Without the 0.0 you wouldnt see any spacecraft running a schedule with actual crew onboard as repaircrew would be standing around with nothing to do most time then of course the only thing that is left is running a transport service that requires that you log out.
I didnt ask mindark to put the engineering skill as a general skill with such a huge impact in so many professions, in my opinion engineering would need to have a lower impact overall and the specialisitions for the single professions would need a higher impact - but if that came true i guess many crafters would be the first to complain about that change as then everyone would need to skill up each profession separately.

Pay them is not my problem how you run your business, if you need to pay them and raise your services do it, i know for sure are plenty people that will stay there waiting if they were payed, you dont need an unfair advantage
abaut log off i am in favor of removal so bring it, i would love to try to loot some bitches that cant do now atm and some even travek in your ship so who knows what future bring, i will change my way of play and adapt, even the play field i say

Sorry Boardian i would suggest to take this to pm with me as it certainly derails the thread, your concerns are definately not related to the service itself and Normandie certainly hasnt been the main service provider for repairskilling in the past - there is lots of others who have done this at lower fees. We have always cared to focus on transports and offering the skilling in addition like everyone else did.

Running a competing bussiness by paying crew, if others perform logged out transports without the need to employ any crew is certainly not possible. The fixes have to happen first and im requesting to remove the possibility of logged out stackable transports since long.
You can be sure that i will keep to support improving entropias space by providing constructive feedback regularly towards Mindark.

Please take this to pm if you would like to discuss further, we can also talk ingame tonight.
 
1 whole year since this thread began

Wow what a year!

I really can’t believe it has been 1 whole year since the scheduled warp flights began, the time has just flew in!

I remember fondly the early days, when space was red! And we needed a whole squadron of escorts to transport safely –
quad_escorts.jpg


When horrors were dense and were not tagged –
old_space.jpg


Then with all the space updates, came the bugs! I remember when normandie wasn’t accesable for a few days, and we had to borrow other MS and pirvateers just to complete our schedules – those were fun! Thank you to those who made that possible

Visiting new planets for the first time –

cyrene.jpg


Some Epic battles – ( I have maaaannnnyyyyy more pics of these, maybe best not to over load :D )
banshee.jpg


And amazing events –

Fun hunts –

Spending time with some great friends –

And working alongside the best crew a commander could ever wish for –
crew_1.jpg


And now as we enter the second year of providing safe and reliable transport through space, we take on a new vessel, the ToS Ark Royal – Gz Captain Slay.

It has been my honour and privilege to serve with the Titans of Space throughout this year, and to witness the dedication and effort put in by every rank from commander throughout the entire crew has been truly inspiring.


I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful crew ( many not pictured) for the time effort and dedication you have all put in to make us all come so far. I’ve met some really great friends, and enjoy every minute we all spend together.


Thank you to all our passengers and investors who have trusted our service throughout the year to get you and your peds securely and reliably to your destination, and for allowing us to continue to provide this service. Its been so great meeting so many of you, amazing how one little ship can start a so many friendships.

1318 warp jumps complete - looking forward to the next thousand to come!

So here’s to the future! For many years to come of scheduled warp flight travel with Titans of Space.

See you onboard!

Commander Bonnie.

Great pics, bonnie! And fond memories :) Thanks!

Maybe i shouldn't exhume Chili's concerns, but I can't resist giving a crew perspective:

People join a mothership crew (most often on repairs) for 3 reasons:

skilling
fun and companionship
the satisfaction of being part of a well-oiled machine


Now, you take skilling away and there just isn;t enough incentive. People are not gonna want to just stand around doing nothing for the 2-3 hours a roundtrip takes, just in case of attack! And they are not gonna want to pay thruster decay and landing fees all the time, either, if they get nothing back in the form of skills. I think MA have left the so-called exploit in place , because they realise that no way could an MS get a fully functional crew without that "exploit". They need to come up with some whole new incentive first.

Pay crew instead, you say? I shudder to think what a warp trip would cost if you had to pass that expense on to pasengers! It's already hard enough to recover the cost of buying, upgrading, warping and fuelling, I'm sure. Do you really want to have to pay for crew's wages as well? And how many would buy? Again, you're looking at space, as we know it, dying if you go down that road. And we all go back to travelling everywhere by quad

...unless logged-out travelling remains an option. But that takes out all the fun doesn't it? And that's also regarded as an "exploit" by many players. At least Normandie and a few others are running an MS service in exactly way that MA intended...but ironically, that's made possible by what seems to be an unintended feature (0.0 repairs)

I'd also like to add that Normandie was the last ship to take advantage of that feature. We did it the really hard way by driving thru mob-fields, whilst other MS crews laughed at us, until John had made enough support-cases to be sure that MA were never gonna reply with "No , you mustn't do that"

You're gonna say- we can do it the hard way again? well, yeah, but not on a passenger trip. And there only so many people stoic enough to put up with so much hassle for a much lower skilling-rate.

And does loss of T-ing in space really benifit Normandie? I don't think so. I'm sure I'm not the only crew member who often has to fly across the Universe by quad to join Normandie for my tour of duty. And who won;t be bothering so often as before :( . I think you forget that full time MS crews have more need to travel by quad than almost everyone else. We're like busmen! Catching the bus to work just ain't an option! It's a bummer, however you look at it.

The passenger flights of today wednesday and on Friday and the hunting trip on thursday will be run without summon.
Fleet Commander Alaina Bonnie Scotia will be running the Normandie according to schedule.
All multipass owners have been added to the guestlist for the time being, so you can still join the flights even when im not online. Just fly up and enter the Normandie during the scheduled boarding times.
All subscriptions will be prelonged by 3 days as compensation for the inconvenience.
 
Which kinds of tickets include summoning? Really like your subscriptions but currently don't fly that much for it to be worth it (once a week at most), so I'm interested in occasional flights now and then. But since I too often end up outside of the safe zone after leaving a planet, and after been looted there is not much use for a safe flight anymore, I wonder do you provide summoning on single flights?

Hey Svarog :)

We summon on all flights. All tickets include summoning :) . If your just looking for occasional flights - the Multi-pass would maybe be the best idea :)

The only reason we cannot summon tonight is beacause John is not at a PC. Its very rare that we cant summon ( I think twice in our year of operation) but when we cant we always make sure we run the schedule as per usual :)
 
Hey Bonnie, that's great :) I'll go for the 10-flight multi-pass then for starters, and looking to join you on Monday to go from Cyrene to Caly. Do I understand right that if I get summoned from Cyrene at 20:00MA and leave the ship to Caly at ~21:00MA it counts as 1 flight, providing that I'll stay on the ship while it stops at NI and Ark? :)

I hope it's possible to be summoned first and buy the ticket onboard, since there are hardly any ToS booking offices on Cyrene :D

Too many questions, I'm a noob, you know :p

Alright - let there be service :D


ToS Starfleet:
statistical passenger safety on 1428 warpflights and over 16 months of operation - 100%

Oh, for heaven's sake, all the other services are buried under the deluge of space services now :laugh:
Can we have the "Services" Forum subdivided? "Space Services" and Everything Else" should do the trick for headers

Over the remaining week i will be sorting out old inactive basecrew from Normandie guestlist to prepare the ship to undergo some changes for crewing.
The original free basecrew status (not the one related to investments or subscriptions) will in future have limitation to not support competing services through advertisement or pilot tasks - it is considered a conflict of interest to support two services which run an competing schedule.
If you feel to take on such tasks on other ships you will have to take on a subscription on the Normandie instead of your previous free status to remain on the guestlist.

*****************************************
Introducing great new Bonuses for our Basecrew and Subscribers !!

From today you will be able to enter a competition to earn peds as you skill !!

At the start i will scan you to get your starting intelligence and VSE lvl.
Each time you gain an intelligence point, you will earn peds


--> You can claim your current VSE lvl or current Intelligence level, whichever is lower

Example 1:
Gaining intelligence to 41 while being VSE 43 - will entitle you for an reward of 41ped.
Exsample 2:
Gaining intelligence to 23 while being VSE 10 - will entitle you for an reward of 10ped.

Requirements:
You are an active member of the crew (participating on at least 3 scheduled nights per week).
You buy your tools and wires from me.
You gain a new point in intelligence.

Happy skilling everyone :D

ToS Starfleet now lowering VIP flight prices again !

From today onwards our Fees will be:

25 Ped per jump for normal passengers.
15 Ped per jump for basecrew and crewsubscribers.
14 Ped per jump for VIP subscribers.
Additional passengers you want to take along 10 ped.
Subscribers join on all flights scheduled or booked vip for free.

You will be able to utilize the below listed multipasses now for VIP flights as well !!
Your multipass will be charged by 7 flights per vip flight this results in:

300 Ped Multipass - 100 flights -> 14 vip flights (--> 21ped per jump)
4000 Ped Multipass - 2000 flights -> 285 vip flights (--> 14ped per jump)

While the multipasses are valid unlimited please be aware that the VIP exchange rate to use them for vip flights is bound to the avaiabilty of generic fuses and therefor has to be adjusted should they become more rare again.
Therefor the VIP exchange rate for multipasses will be updated quarterly.
