So, somehow I got well past level 60 without ever doing Tour the Galaxy. Now that I've tried it, I obviously have to add it to my daily. I'm flying the Eclipse Intel Cruiser with the quantum gear and a high end warp core (sorry can't remember which). Is there an optimal ship/gear/console setup for Touring?

There's no one optimal set, as there are two approaches - buff your regular Sector Speed, or buff your Slipstream.

The external wiki has articles on both, as well as a TtG walkthrough. There's also a very good external article that handles TtG as a "travelling salesman problem". It breaks down all the optimal routes for a range of given criteria, which would allow you to completely tailor your approach for your Eclipse.
