5000 merits seems a bit high, frankly. Award it (or the temp) at the end of, say, Levantra's arc when you've "proven yourself to Vanguard" or some such.
I was originally thinking 1000 but since its a permanent power and you usually have to bend over backwards to get those I figured 1000 wouldn't be enough. Then again a zone TP isn't that great of a power. Maybe 1000 would be better.
Level 50s who aren't on a team could use the Ouroboros portal and select the arc that sends them to Vanguard but that doesn't work if you're on a team or you aren't lvl 50.
I think your idea would be great for mothership raids when you need to get there in a hurry. Why not.
IMO, nothing on the merit tables should exceed 500 merits in cost.

I haven't seen this suggested anywhere on the forum before so I figured I'd submit it here. Since the RWZ already has the vanguard merit system with various temps and costume parts, why not add a RWZ transporter?
If this power was made available I'd make it like the current Market transporter or a permanent temp like the bonus pack powers. When you use the temp it will transport you somewhere inside the vanguard base.
Permanent RWZ TP Temp 1 hour cool down (5000 vanguard merits)
Limited RWZ TP Temp: 3 uses (200 vanguard merits)
Personally I'd go for the perma temp. I think it would be a good way to promote more mother ship raids. I know they arent in short supply now (at least on my server), but more couldnt hurt.
Any suggestions or ideas? Is this idea good or garbage? All constructive comments are welcome.
