TP Rides or Spaceship Rides

What would be the better way for getting anywhere off Calypso, spaceship rides or TP rides? I sort of miss the spaceships as you could team with other passengers for hunting mobs, and it was part of the fun of going to say CND, CP - rocktropia didn't exist then, but then again, using a TP is more efficient and quicker, but more expensive as well...
You could get a seat for 25-30 peds, but now it's 40 or 50 ped each way, and alot of the pilots must have been sick to their back teeth when the new changes happened, especially now that a new palnet is here and probably more on the way...

So, what do ppl think was/is the better way of getting to CND, etc...
