The vesta line of ships cannot be beaten for sector space speed, add in the solanae warp core for subspace fold and borg engines and you have the fastest sector space ship in game.

It just so happens that the vesta line of ships are still the top end science ships in game for performance also so your just spending money just on something to travel quickly :P

*edit* i forgot to add to get the slipstream bonus for the vestas you need the 2 set bonus from the consoles and as such you should buy the bundle and not just one of the 3 ships.

Oh my, thanks for all the replies!
Well, I did the Sphere of Influence but I don't have the Warp core. I might have sold it, I can't remember..
I hope having a fast ship is of high value not only for the Tour the Galaxy mission ;)

Thanks for putting together this awesome event! I had fun (even though I didn't do very well!) and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one! Congratulations to all who participated :woohoo:

Great work on the post event trailer, by the way! My character is at 0:46 B)

For maximum speed you want to use a vesta with its improve slipstream speed and duration, borg engines, diplomatic immunity and any other buffs to driver coil you can manage.

Give me some time and I can give you a breakdown of everything I do to increase my speed. It was superb for the old Tour. The new tour is well, not as friendly. The timer is tight, but manageable if you make the same/similar modifications.

One thing I will highlight now though, you do not get any EC bonus from completing the tour. It is paid in sector blocks so if you fall short of one block you are not losing a great deal of EC. Essentially one purple XI Impulse/Deflector/Shield is the equivalent EC!

The only boost you get for completing a FULL tour is an accolade and a decrease in your transwarp cooldown. (On a side note to that... the lowest you can reduce the transwarp cooldown with all the various methods is 4 minutes 15 seconds) so if your cooldown is already just over 4 minutes then it may appear like you didnt get this perk!

It's already a very small percentage of our members that frequent the website and a smaller number that actively take part.

It's a pretty safe bet that anybody who see's this thread and takes the time to post or contribute to it is a dedicated member of the guild. In any case it would be hard to make a fair system that actively took into account our members contributions over the years, as much as we'd like to.

I've not discussed this with Elquin so am just speaking of my past experience and he may decide to do things differently but normally when a guild decides to switch servers the guild doesn't fund the move. All those members that want to move pay for it themselves and those that don't look for another guild.

In Guild Wars 2 it's a little easier because you can still be part of the guild and have access to the guild chat and banks etc and if we are run a PvE event you can simply "guest" to our server for the duration of the event free of charge.

The only issue comes with WvW (which is the main point of the argument) in which you'd still have to fight for CD and wouldn't be able to join the official Vanguard events. So if you're not in a position to pay for a transfer but still want to WvW with the guild than a "no" vote is the right one.

These are very important issues and having an open discussion is a good thing.

The Obelisk warp core is a reward from completing the 'Sphere of Influence' mission. So you don't have to pay for it! :)

I've used all sorts of ships for that mission, including the Jem'Hadar dreadnaught. I've equipped either of those sets and it's been fine. Honestly with those, I've not needed the Obelisk warp core to finish the whole mission, in some cases with a minute or two to spare.

Do you have a set path to follow? I've created little maps, I can post them if you like. :)

Okay. I have an Obelisk Carrier (not an Advanced one) but it's not equiped with anything special. How can I get this Subspace Rift Warp Core? Can't find it on Exchange. Lobi crystals?
Can I then equip the Obelisk Carrier with the Warp Core, the Borg set and just change ships whenever I do the Tour the Galaxy?

I've found that either the MACO or Assimilated Borg Set make for the fastest ships for this mission, I do it a lot too.

I also found that using the Obelisk Subspace Rift warp core helps as it reduces your cooldown for QSD to 1 minute. ;)

Important question to leader and all members: "The ones who want to transfer to another server, are they 100 percent representing the guild since day one?" I notice there are players who wants to be in the guild but don't represent the guild at all time which really should not have anything to say or suggest about the transfer. I represent the guild 100 percent everytime I log on and I think players' opinion like myself should be above other who do not represent the guild or contribute to the guild achievement.
If leader decided to move, who will fund the transfer for the guild and members? Keep in mind what server ranking fluctuates and if we did transfer to another server, will move again if we feel the same as of this time again? Tranfers will never stop when we are unhappy?
Kome transfered because of "drama" with another guild. What is our true reason for the transfer? Achievements are all the same for all servers and it has nothing to do with the server ranking. Thank you.

Some thoughts:

So if the guild moves for the few WvW individuals will they fund the transfer for the guild members? A transfer at $20 or more doesn't guarantee that the server transferred to will be any better. And then the whole factor of which server.

I really enjoy WvW when I play it. The only thing that does put me off is how often CD is out numbered. There's nothing worse than being 1 of only 15 people from our server when the others have almost 30 each.

hmmm I accidentally voted NO and can't seem to change my vote to YES. I take no responsibility for my actions at 4AM! At any rate, I'll try to share my thoughts later.

I wanted to vote "no" but I've voted "yes" to counter-act your mistake. Let me know if you found a way to change your vote so that I didn't screw it unfairly. :)

So, I like the Tour the Galaxy mission because I get some EC and can do some assignments from various corners of the galaxy :)
I'd like to fly faster so I aim at the MACO set doing Borg and Omega marks stuff right now. I guess a good Warp Coil will give a boost too.
The three questions I have:
1. Is there anything else I can do to make my ship faster in Secotr Space?
2. Is there a way to reduce the cooldown time for QSD? I think it's two minutes for me right now;
3. There is this ability "Grant Diplomatic Immunity" but I realised I will be able to GRANT immunity, I won't HAVE it. How can I ask someone to grant it to me and how does it work? Let's say, I'm in Sector Space and... what then?

I hope there wasn't any thread like that and the possible answers will be of use for other players :)

I don't World vs World any where near as much as I should (because I love it but often don't want to commit to the time sink) so It's probably a little unfair for me to make the argument one way or another when some of our membership spend most of the time in The Mists however I did vote no.

I think one of the problems with the unbalanced nature of World vs World was the free-movement which we used to enjoy in the early days. Everyone jumped ships to the most popular and successful servers leaving some servers ghosts towns.

We are a mid-table server and being there can be very disheartening because we'll probably never be able to challenge the top boys but if we do move we are contributing to the eventual demise of our first home.

That said I can't ignore the benefits to the "fun" factor moving would have on our membership and totally understand peoples desire to do so.

I will move if the guild decides it so.

A quick note on the cost of transfer. Transfer once every seven days at a cost determined by the destination server.
