Would be fun if the miniature Jabba statue could be filled with healium and I could fly with it. Or if the stormtrooper doll could have bendable arms and legs etc, or maybe if it could be controlled by a remote so I could make it walk. Lol, my ideas can run wild, but im unfortunately not a game-designer.

I think these rewards should be available to all of your characters, not just one per account. Also these items should be non-tradeable.
It's weak you are planning to make them 1 per account.

Being a weaponsmith, this sentence scares me more than anything has ever scared me before in SWG. What stops anyone from slicing a scythe, and throwing in the anti decay kit? That means that person would NEVER buy another scythe again, EVER. Now, if more and more people start doing this, then a problem develops for the weaponsmith you see... I would never be able to sell another scythe again. All my profits would be reduced to nothing, and I would be left a poor husk of a wook existance with nothing more than his nerfed bodyleft to his own.
Nothing should last forever, especially weapons.

These kits should not work on weapons or armor.

It's one kit, it could only be used on one weapon or one piece of armor, not a whole suit. And not everyone will choose that item. I wouldn't worry about it.

What weapon can be insured?

1. It's any resource spawning at the time.
2. The anti-decay kit only works on weapons and items that can be insured.

I agree that it's WAY too good on weapons, but it wouldnt be all too bad on armor imho. It would require you have 9 accounts that have been active for a year to have invincible armor... then again, people will just slice 50 plates, drop in their uber +20 segs, and freeze it. The PvP implications alone there are immense. Oh well... I guess I'm just saying this because I only want to buy pants (Wook).

Nice rewards.... But this won't stop me from cancelling my account and head for WoW. Sadly.
Been here since beta,but after trying WoW for a week, I'm sold. To WoW. It's so much more FUN and EASY to play than SWG.
And you know what? It's mobs everywhere.. And no rubberbanding.. And it's still just a month after release! Not bad.
CYa...
PS - why don't you, for once, do things like this the REAL way? You never treat your players like they should.
A couple of examples. These rewards aren't per player... Noo.. They're per ACCOUNT! And what about the new stations? They're only decorative.. They have no real value besides the looks. And more:
"Crate of any existing resource (30k)", - Offcourse it's from the resources spawning THAT DAY... Can't choose fromANY resource. Too bad.
And also... The non-decay-reward only works for stuffthat can decay - notspecial items like pearls. So typical.
It's a shame really, thatfinally SOE begins to think about they're players - buta couplemonths too late. Ifall this love(more room in houses, less incap-time, less waiting for shuttle, etc etc) had come earlier, lots of people MAY havestill been here.
Oh well.......

can i only choose items from 1 of the month ranges, or all of them?
example: i choose to recieve a 6 month house item, can i now only choose from the 6 month list of rewards?

The anti-decay kits will not kill the armor/weapon market. If you only run around with one weapon, then you're either a non-combat class, or a teras kasi. I carry 18 pieces of armor (PvP/PvE). I can only keep one of those 18 pieces from decaying.
and there went a 7th of return business allready. And thats only one profession! When all the other professions use the kit on their most used weapon I foresee a drastic decrease in the need for weaponry.Look how many Droid engineers that are around, want the same to happen to AS and WS?
If they changed the kit so that it decreased the decay by % or something like that Id feel better about it. But this is just bad for the game IMO

For the Field- GOOD, people will uses these every day.
Every thing else is trash, wast of inventory space.
If I've been playing the game this long and I can buy/make decorations for my house.
Who is ever going to see this trash? It's a nice idea, but let the players do the decorating. (they have done some killer stuff so far)
-Give out usefull Items! Like a Ship that we can use as a house with 250 item storage!!!
-droids that have a 100 item storage compartment.
- give out stuff that makes us better (but not more powerfull) thennewer players. Givethe new playerssomething to look forward to.
