The Virtualsense Space Travel Associates Program was launched on Monday, October 5th and provides extra warp services during weekdays in addition to the regular Yamato Warp Service on Fridays and Sundays. Initially, both Deatz and Priest were members of the VS Space Travel Associates Program, but at the end of 2020, real life put more demands on Priest's time and he is no longer able to continue providing this additional service. Deatz will continue with the service, but he will be reorganizing his time schedule.

This extra warp service will facilitate more opportunities to travel our Monria or Toulan communities during weekdays at reduced rates. We appreciate Deatz stepping up to provide these additional warp services to accommodate the need for our community members to travel during the week when the Yamato service isn't running.

Deatz manages the Starfinder XXIX Warp Crew.

Here is the current fee schedule that applies only to the designated weekday schedule:
  • (fee to be determined)
  • --- Monrian/Toulan Born / Monria/Toulan Booth, Shop & Apt Owners / Yamato VIPs with the free space travel benefit
  • (fee to be determined) -- all others
  • fee covers the entire travel route once determined
  • special requests and/or other planet stops can be made for an additional fee (to be determined)
  • Monrian/Toulan Born will also receive an ongoing 10% discount for On-Demand VIP Warps
  • --- this pertains to the normal rates and not during the already discounted weekday schedule rates
  • this service advertises in the in-game trade channels -- PM them to be added before each warp
  • weekday schedules will be added to this post once sorted
  • --- Deatz may provide warp services on Saturday during his designated route times as listed below
Here is the weekday route schedule for Deatz:

Deatz
  • travel route and times to be determined based on needs of the community - will be added when available
Additional Note:

For a time, there was quite the fluctuation in both the availability and markup of Generic Fuse prices and if this should continue to be an issue, then it may have an effect on travel fees in the future. If any fees are affected, it will be reported in this section, but also in all mediums that Deatz uses to communicate with passengers, such as Discord.

We are very excited about this adjunct warp service that will provide additional travel options to not only our collective Monria and Toulan communities, but the universe at large. Since the Yamato warp service only runs on Fridays and Sundays, these weekday warp services during your designated travel times at reduced rates will be very significant in moving people across the universe.

It may take a hot minute to get the word out, but I believe it will happen and this will be a viable service in addition to our Yamato service, so thank you again for stepping up and joining Virtualsense to open up the universe even further for our communities. :thumbsup

For Deatz ship along with his wife Mellow I will be on planet advertising in local and trade at 5 min after landing and 10 min after with first summons at the 14 min mark and second and final summons at 15 min mark then will warp to next planet. Doing same thing on each planet.

I will be at planet side making team when you pay for warp to have Mellow add you to guest list on ship to summon you. Please allow a friend request for summons by Mellow.

Thanks for this chance to work with Monria and Toulan. I am sure there may be a few bugs as we do first few days but we will work them out.

Have fun and see you all starting 02:00 game time 10/07/2020 for first service.

Thanks Dj Krackers Inmysoup

Thank you very much Krackers for sharing this additional information, it's appreciated. I know the community will benefit from this associated warp service and we are excited about it.

Let me know if there's anything we can do additionally to help.

We appreciate both warp services participating in this associates program.

Thank You

As an update ...

I wanted to mention that Priest's additional weekday warp service as part of the Virtualsense Space Travel Associates Program is also on pause right now, but he is still running his regular warp service if only at a limited level currently until things change.

The associates program is still in play, and unless otherwise notified, Deatz is running his associates part of the program during his detailed weekday schedule listed in the first post in addition to his regular service for now.

This is a great program that offers options to the Yamato passengers during the week at reduced rates when we don't run our warp service, especially for those who get the free travel benefit, but I am told that not many take advantage of it.

I will alert everyone when Priest is able to continue with his weekday associates program schedule.

I also want to clarify something else ... all of those who have contributed or gotten involved with our Community Initiative Programs (CIP) are volunteers and donate their time toward our community efforts. This is how it's always been, and we are immensely grateful for the support they give to bring a more elevated experience for not only our community members, but also those who visit.

As most know (I think), we are always observing community activities and actions and our volunteers have been rewarded in unique ways, such as some having a daily mission NPC named after them, and created in their likeness on Monria, as well as 4 community members having Monria armor named after them, so we do pay attention to who is making contributions to help support our community efforts.

These unique rewards aren't frequent, and may not be the same, but that's what makes them special. We will continue to recognize our community members in unique ways over time, and now we have our new Toulan community to consider as well. :)

Our programs and communities work well because of the support we receive, and as we've said from the beginning, it was more than we had ever expected, but ... we also have a LOT more in store for both Monria and Toulan, starting with the Dec 1st VU, but that will again be Toulan-focused because Ant wants to get the economy moving, as well as continue to fix some things and introduce new content. We think you will be happy with what's about to occur on Toulan, but this is still just the beginning.

We want both or our Monria and Toulan communities to have the best experience possible, and we will continue to improve upon that.

Oh, and there will be a little something extra for our Monrian Born in this VU as well. :p

We appreciate our communities, and couldn't be prouder of what we've been able to accomplish in partnership with you, so thank you for your continued support, and those whose contributions have been immensely helpful.

Good day,
I am thinking of setting up a shuttle service during the week, daily, between Monria and Toulan to further assist the community. I need some information to accomplish this. So I would ask for some input on time frames from you the community to develop a possible schedule.

Chime in community, because this will be an extended service and benefit to both Monria and Toulan ... Deatz and I are discussing other things behind the scenes as well and this is going to really be cool for the community.

The travel route, weekly schedule and reduced fees will be added once Deatz has everything sorted, so ...

Help him out and give your input, this is for your benefit. :)

I personally travel very little, simply because i am an hermit on my little planet.

But being involved with the Yamato, i do have to travel inbetween Monria and Toulan, which sure is a very time consuming and painful trip to do.

From a general interest point of view, i would feed that usually, like in any online game, timezones tend to be the driver for community events.
So i would think from 19.00 to 21.00 game time is probably the peak of activity, cross-timezone, as a whole.

I am sure you guys have it covered, but with the recent peaks of pirate activity, please do feel free to use our forum shoutbox, if this can add an extra layer of safety.
