Can we get a 'Beam to Sector Block' button on Risa?

You know, like the one we get at Starfleet Academy?

Last few days, I've actually found it quicker to quit out of the game and re-log once I hit the loading screen after beaming up. I sit watching 'Loading Risa System' for a good five minutes; then get up, make a coffee, come back, stare at it some more... then decide that the game must have crashed or something and Alt+F4 back to desktop.

All I'm going to do there is hit the 'Depart System' button anyway. It's such a pointless waste of time with it being so busy.

Could we please just skip it and go straight to Sirius sector?

    A lot of places need a "beam to sector space" button. In the case of Risa, though, they'd have to rig it so Klingons who don't have T3 Marauding get a "lol no" and that'd probably take more work.

    Get the replay of the new FE in your mission log*. It has a 0 cost transwarp and you can use it anywhere but at Fleet locations. Of course, you end up outside of the Dyson Gate in Tau Dewa, but should let you bypass the traffic jam outside Risa.

    *or choose your mission of choice for the "Mission Transwarp To:" but may cost you 500-40000 EC to use it.

    My current loop is...
    1. Do Risa stuff
    2. free-transwarp to Dyson Gate, do some BZ for quick Undine Marks
    3. Transwarp to Earth for SFA doff missions/midterm/etc.
    4. Transwarp to DS9, head to Fleet Mining Asteroid to get those 2 doff mission
    5. transwarp from mine to Fleetbase if I need to turn CXP to FMs.
    6. use event transwarp to go back to Risa for events or to log out and repeat for other toons.

    I rarely have to use the slow Warpdrive to get anywhere! :D
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Why would there be a "lol no" option? KDF without Marauding can enter the summer event and then get back to open space (Eta Eridani). The only work would be copying the Leave System button and associated code from the Risa system to the summer resort.
    Of course, I don't know if that really is easy with the engine and tools the devs have to work with.

    I dunno, I figured a "beam to sector" from Risa would just take you to Sirius. But sending Klingons to Eta E would work, too. I have no idea how easy or difficult this would be to add.

    This would be better, it's not a major issue, but would be a nice player friendly addition.

    Tried this last time I tried to leave Risa; didn't really help. It seems that, for me anyway, the problem is actually leaving the Risa resort itself; rather than getting into the Risa system.

    ...

    And now I can't get 'Hotel California' out of my head... :P
