I think I'm missing out. I can't stand space travel to other planets. It takes too long.. That's the reason I only stay on Calypso.

Does anyone else have the same problem? I know we got warpflights, but that takes too long aswell. And I don't want to get stuck on another planet if I want to get home. Is there a way to fix that for lazy players like me? And would it be better for the economy if more people went to other planets more often? :)
 
whats the big deal ?
when i go to another planet i just do it when im about to fix dinner
just set at autofly and when your done eating you will have arrived
 
I don't eat dinner.. :p

I guess it's not a big problem. But it keeps me from travelling. I was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation as me, not whining ;)
 
i think im in the same boat.. i would like to change planets more often than i do.. i know its just auto run and do something else for the 30min.. but yeah.. its freaking afk for 30min.. whats the point why cant it be afk for 5min or just instant instead of AFK.. and in the end the pirates are always camping in the non pvp areas near the space stations so no point of having such long flights
 
Quad users take 30 to 40 minutes, but Sleip users take double that. (Just to put things into perspective.)

So although its very time consuming, I doubt we have any other choice. Unless some faster than quads thingy pops up.

But look on the bright side...Just because its very time consuming, every time I visit a new place, its like a new adventure/vacation and I'll often spend up to a couple of months there before moving on.

Its quite refreshing if you take it that way imo.

Yea...that's the sucky part. Usually I'll avoid auctioning anything if I'm planning on moving to another planet.

So exactly how long do you think warp flights take? Maybe go to the dev section and make a suggest for 100 ped fee to tp direct to another planet. (for the lazy people as you put it) See what they say, never know they might like the idea.

Yes, space is a big pain, but I plain out the night before going to another planet..Really due to space I get a lot done

1.order dinner
2. go shoppping
3. pickup dinner
4. eat dinner while watching a good show
5. check to see if I made it to the planet yet..

So all in all, not all that bad.

edit: and yes, waiting for MA to do something with space so we an have a GREAT crew aboard the TOS Normadie!!

Be very careful here : these expired auctions will eventually end up back in your inventory , make a point of checking your inventory everytime you goto space (if you do decide to go) as you may have stuff sat in your inventory when you thought it was emtpy.
Happened to me with time crystals I left on AG auction , they took a long time to return though , I had forgotten about them but because I always check my inventory I spotted them and was like :scratch2:

Remember if you do come into space , dont feed the pirates.
 
You can allways join the #space_travel chat and check/ask for a VIP warp flight for a fast travel. :)

What this guy said! ;)


It is such a shame to read people seeing space as just that nuisance in the middle of the planets, space should and could be so much more than that.

Space should be 100 times larger, fully immersed integrated and exceptionally fun part of our universe!

Remember a great many of us love space, even as it is now. We spend all of our Entropia time there, hunting, providing services, socialising, skilling and spending money! Warp flights take 5 mins, try to enjoy space a little :)

Id be more than happy to show you some of the fun which can be had up there, and see if I can change your mind about it being an annoying void ;)
 
I think they should adjust it a bit and cut the travel time in half. Around 15-20 min in a Quad from Arkadia to Planet Calypso should be suitable I feel.
 
I would gladly accept an universe where travelling to a star system in a distant backwater galaxy would take weeks - provided it's dangerous and interesting adventure. No... The problem isn't "too long", it's "too boring", "too uneventful".

If u go to the opposite direction and make reaching other planets easy like stepping into another room... It won't be an Universe any more. Then it's just that, another room.


As we already discussing this, what to do with crafting? A decent few thousand clicks crafting run currently takes like... forever. Should they remove crafting entirely or make it a lot faster? :scratch2:

Decisions, decisions... :tongue2:

That's what it was when space was first released. I think it was a more appropriate size. The expansion came with an expectation that they would add new stuff but the only thing we got was a few more mobs.
 
There's no fix for lazy players so you should stay on calypso and be missing out on other opportunities out there.
Only a lazy person can "fix" him/herself. By stop being lazy and moving their ass.

It's not hard if you really wanted to explore the universe. Step-by-step instructions.
Step 1. Change your mindset.
Step 2. Get a quad.
Step 3. Get oil for quad.
Step 4. Get a (L) thruster.
Step 5. Fly with your quad to space.
Step 6. Add a waypoint to the planet you want to go to.
Step 7. Aim your cursor to the waypoint.
Step 8. Press once auto-move action.
Step 9. Now you can be lazy for 40 min!
Step 10. You should now be at planet border, you need to pay 2 ped fee to enter planet.
Step 11. Instead of flying down to planet surface, exit the quad while in the skies you'll fall to your death, but at least it will be quick, especially useful for lazy people.

If you follow all from above, MISSION LAZY ACCOMPLISHED! :D

ps: i've used step 5-11 since space was introduced and never once have my I been shot by pirates nor has my quad been decayed.
 
There was a time when MA had put TP ability between planets for a fee. I loved it, easily jumping planet to planet when I felt like a change. I wish this were still an option. I like the quick and easy method of playing and I minimize my space travel unless I plan on spending some time at another planet other than Caly, or want to go to FOMA or CP.

Golden post award!
 
Well the way I do it is I will plan to be on a planet for like a week at least, so I will go to Cyrene and plan to complete some of the missions there for example before I leave. This way the journey is not such a pain.

A lot of people fly about between different planets on a daily basis but that's not appealing at all for me :laugh:

Also, as people have said, if you dont want to sit there, just make the flight while your getting ready in the morning or something like that, taking a shower or whatever.

My advise: You should make a point to have at least one other planet that you regularly visit, then have one or two more that you visit once or twice a year. Enjoy the frikkin universe man thats what its there for :laugh:
 
Travelling Space

Well why do you whine? If you go to visit your friends you also have to take a Journey. Take a car or a bus. And no ... you CANT eat Dinner or be AFK ... lol ....

Ofc it takes time to travel from Point A to Point B .... and so it takes time in Space too. If you want to beam to another planet ... just join Startrek series :D
