Tour The Galaxy ?

Can we still get the Well Traveled Trait and if so what do we have to do to get it now. BTW the new Tour The Galaxy is a discombobulated mess IMHO.

Couldnt agree more. I'v even had issues making each "waypoint?" complete.
Got it recently on 2 new characters after hitting all the systems in the beta quadrant and a few (3 or 4 iirc) in the alpha quadrant.
Is there a preferred pattern? I wasn't even able to get through half in Alpha Quadrant.
You don't need to do Tour the galaxy for the trait. You unlock it by visiting all the locations not completing the mission.
Half? Good lord, get some transwarp engines stat!

You're welcome.

Why are you not rejoicing?
I'm truly impressed by this!
LOL..yea half of it was operator induced, the other have was not registering the system and having to go back.
The best way to get it to register, is to fly directly to the center massive star, fly either over or under it, but some will register simply by getting near the sides of the system!

I tried following the most efficient route, with 50% slipstream cooldown, MACO engines, full driver coil skill and transwarp and I can only complete beta quadrant and half the alpha quadrant, before the sector space revamp I could easily finish the mission with 7 minutes left.
MACO engines, aren't as fast as the Assimilated Borg engines, but they are still extremely fast.
Also, make use of the ancient obelisk warp core, as it has the best of 3 worlds for running the tour!
But yes, RP and DI are very important, not to mention some help from doff boosts to related skills, and fleet boosts as well to ENG skills.

I guess it really is due to it's rarity. From what I remember many didn't exactly like the "alien" design of the DSDs (to put it mildly) so I wouldn't be surprised if a good bunch just didn't see the grind through.
Yes, a ship like the Oddy helps a lot, due to the extended SS time!

The reason I use the Ancient Warp Core is partially for the half-reduction in slipstream recharge, but _mostly_ for the ability to maneuver _well_ in slipstream. Being able to turn on a quarter while at full slipstream saves many _many_ seconds, and it means I can leave slipstream on for the full durations.
Try with the ancient warp core, then this route: Breen -> east, west through DS9, east to Betazed, cross over near risa, north to just past sol, then east hops to iconia, south and return west through Qo'nos to the Drozana area, transwarp to Sol, then head north and east through Nimbus to Borg Space. If you otherwise do a near-perfect run, you ought to be able to complete the whole thing with the gear you currently have, or come really _really_ close.
I travel, in order, to the following systems to complete five sectors/rows.
Traelus System
Drozana Station
Archanis System
Qo'noS System
Sanek System
Pheben System
Iconia System
Gamma Eridon System
Khitomer System
New Romulus System
Virinat System
Risa System
Orion System
Argelius System
Mylasa System
And here is a cap of the map.
I begin down in the South-West corner of the Beta-Quadrant very near the Traelus System.
First I open the Quadrant Map, then, using the J key, I look for and take the Mission: Tour the Galaxy.
I then quickly sellect the Traelus System and click to begin moving to it at warp. I then quickly close
everything except for the map.
It's a bit of a zig-zag, and it takes a while for the bottom row to fill in (because the Gamma Eridon System is the one that makes it pop), but it gets the job done.
Good looking guide, but do you also have another guide that explain how to get/build a ship to maximize and get a top speed Quantum Slipstream Drive?

Two ships I'd recommend using if you have access to them, Odyssey and Vesta range of ships. I've got the driver coil skill maxed, A warp core with the [Coi] proc on, if you dont have access to the dyson core. Assimilated engines are the best speed wise in game and if you can get them to epic quality they also gain a [Coi] proc. I also believe there's a trait that adds to slip stream speed and turn rate. Other than that Diplomatic immunity and Raiding Party help a lot and if you can get it the driver coil buff from one of the duty officer assignments.
Assimilated Impulse has the advantage over the MACO that it already kicks in at the lower speed settings, making manoeuvering towards a missed objective quicker.
Whenever you got a sharp turn in whatever route you fly, it usually is quicker to reach a full stop and turn while standing still - this is WAY quicker now than it used to be (or is in impulse zones) and doesn't take you off the path by oh so many light years when turning at full speed.
If you only want the trait, cut off some of the outliers and just flat out ignore them, assumed that you won't get everything anyway, you will get more systems that way. Breen and Ferenginar are examples.
I probably shouldn't have to mention this, but use the "Mission" UI in space when you are already at your starting point and do not talk to your contact on ESD/Q'onos.
Beyond 20mins., and it becomes IMO potentially too easy, so there does need to be some unique payoff for those who are willing to invest for full runs!

Here's my setup for those comparing notes:
Vesta w/2 piece console set ("double length" quantum slipstreams)
Obelisk (Ancient?) Warp Core - halving of cooldown means 1 up, 1 down on the slipstream. +.2 speed helps (not sure what it translates into) and +20% turn helps.
Engineering Console: Polaric Modulator Mk XII (the console from Tom Paris's mission) for extra +20% turn rate in slipstream
4 in "personal" Driver Coil...
Which is, as far as I know, the "most" slipstream turn reduction you can slap on a ship.
From the maps presented earlier in thread, I use the "optimal Alpha Quadrant one that starts at Arawath and works to Breen, where I pull the Transwarp to Beta Quadrant and follow that map...
When I'm "on my game", I'll do the following:
Start by driving to Arawath, and have the map up. As soon as Arawath credits, I'll click on "set course to Algira" - tap "E" to make sure I don't slow down around Algira, and try to time the click for "set course to DS9" so that I'm just starting my turn as I hit the Algira system (so I get credit for it), then I'll tap "E" again to keep speed up through DS9 and have the map up so that I can click "Set Course for Corwin" at that point where I'd be "turning" through the Bajor System but still hit that point and get credit for visiting...
When I time each and every one of these "right on the money", I've pulled off a complete tour. Most often, I'll miss one or two by a few seconds, specifically the Beta Quadrant stretch of Vorn - Alini - Lriss where the "credit points" are hyper-tiny and right on top of the star, I'll either blow them horrendously or "play it too safe" and not start my turn until I've driven past the system in question - which costs a precious second or two that winds up leading to me timing out halfway to Nimbus III, which is the "end" of the tour according to these maps...
Now, I haven't gone through trying to "optimize" slipstream points too much, with the Chroniton Integrated version and the half-time cooldown reduction means a "minute up, minute down" pattern on my slipstream, I'm gunning for maximum slipstream time, 8 minutes at warp 33+ is, IMO, "key" to pulling off a good tour. The turn rate reductions means I don't need over half the corner of the map taking some of the sharp turns like Sanek, Traelus, Betazed (which I'm usually in slipstream for, and "unscientific" tests where I think of saving the slipstream for after the turn / transwarp doesn't "save" me any time, and actually robs me of almost a full slipstream's worth of use on the map... And I do this without having DI / RP. I believe that having one or the other (or some other sort of points into Driver Coil) might cause me to complete the tour even with "playing it safe" on that stretch of Beta Quadrant systems...

When I do it, I start in the Beta Quadrant in the Southeast corner (Klingon space) and zig-zag, west-east-west-east, end up at the Northeast corner, then transition to the Alpha Quadrant and get another 2-4 systems. Transwarp 20-21 and slipstream on the long, straight stretches.
