Oh, that is SUPER interesting! And that totally makes sense. I'll keep that in mind for whenever I'm planning future routes...!
I do plan to try and make another guide for the Turn 27 stuff, much later down the road when things are looking more settled. I made this one knowing full well it'd become out of date quickly, but I still wanted to get it out there to help anybody who was stuck and eager to try and advance the story.
(I say all of that, but there is a part of me which wants to try and optimize another route immediately, so I can include my favorite marriage candidates in the guide this time and subtly spread my propaganda... I feel like I could get Carjer or Phaere incorporated into my routing pretty easily...)
