    I'm of the opinion that if the Transwarp Network would be elaborated that I'd rather all the playerbase beneficiate from it.

    When you go at Warp 9.66, you can go places but transitions still take some time.

    If I may make a suggestion (sorry for the tangent, gnobber), I'd propose transwarp hubs to be transferable to beyond our current selection (i.e.: Transwarp to Sol) with options opening up at certain milestones.

    My ideas?

    Transwarp to Deep Space K7 once you attain level 11.
    Transwarp to Starbase Sierra-39 once you attain level 21.
    Transwarp to Deep Space 9 once you attain level 31.

    I'd like to add Gamma Orionis, but that feels less appropriate when there's already a portal present in Sector Space. Perhaps it'd be separated from the Federation Transwarp Network for security reasons in case that the Borg would overwhelm the Federation presence in Gamma Orionis (think End of Beta =P ).

    I know I could use the one to K7 - it'd be very convenient to have a speedier way to get there to spend the PvP badges obtained by players.

    zoberraz brings up some kinda cool ideas

    gnobber's idea on the other hand, is just god awful. Giving lifetime subs little fluff gifts that are amusing, fun, is all good and fine, even if people think its being over-done a little as of late, but changing ways in which they can play the game to give them strategic benefits, is just rediculous. This isn't runescape, it's a legit mmo.

    one idea kinda like zob's (i think at least)

    i see the paths on the map, that kinda look like roads/paths/highways going thru sectors. It would be kind of cool if you could "onramp" onto those, and set your destination, so that you could AFK travel (and have NPC's not agro on these paths) along these roads to the point you set. Even if you could only go 1/2 speed, or maybe have them be toll roads as well, it would still be a really handy feature, being able to go several sectors away while making dinner or having a smoke.

    OR, i'd like to be able to "surf" them, for an increased warp speed.

    Honestly, I can't comprehend why we don't already HAVE this. Many other MMOs (and most RPGs in general) let you jump between towns... it's absurd we don't have it here, too, especially considering how much the game loves to mention the transwarp network. How about letting us use it sometime?!

    yeah i would prefer an update to the transwarp system as a whole, for everyone. be nice to be able to set a destination and head off there, or just have set points to cut across the galaxy a little.

    but either way, i dont think its necessary to add in something for lifetimers only that significantly cuts down travel time

    Definatly agree with you that these are functions that should be in the game and open for everyone.
    great ideas!
