I realize that this might be a minor issue, and it is one that I petitioned in game about --- oh, over half a year ago now, but why-O-why is the map navigation skill for the Galway County map set at 600??
This is without question a n00bie area and should not have such a high requirement in the first place for various reasons: a) MoB's just outside of Rome in Galway Shire are levels 1-3. b) It's a part of the OT starter maps, and c) it does not contain any, nor is in whole, a political area (25% gas suppression).
This problem only really presents itself to characters who did not start as Omni-Tek, but who then switch sides. After which, now you must purchase the starter maps for yourself so you can better navigate to your mission area and see creatures/people/machines that might be in the area. Perhaps in the switching of sides, when you are given a new token board for your new alignment, you can get the starter map set?
Moreover, what about the apartment key? My clan character switched to OT, but still has his key to his old apartment. Am I expected to run back to my apartment before getting shot by the guards? Sometimes, one is tired after a long day of hunting to have to 'run for one's life' to get back into one's apartment, heh.
