No bunker house? just crappy decorations...ack
A bunker house (among other house schematics) should be given to Architects in my opinion, so that this game can FINALLY see some variety in it's player cities.
I'd rather have a city full of interesting houses, than the same boring designs we've always had, and a select group of veterans gets something new.
Housing shouldn't be a veteran reward - it should be (finally) new housing schematics for Architects.

We will be adding in various types of items as time goes on.
Wrong answers. From a "customer relations" standpoint, particularly in light of the utter lack of any communication regarding these veteran rewards, these are horrific answers.
First off, no one had any clue what the new rewards were going to be until they were implemented. Without any comment from the developer team indicating what the rewards were going to be, or if there were going to be any more added in the future, the best assumption the playerbase could make was that, though incredibly paltry, those were the rewards we were going to get. If the assumptions are wrong, the onus is on the development and community relations teams to get the right information out. Obviously, you did not.
Secondly, in order to claim ourtwo-year anniversary rewards, we first had to go through the process of claiming our veteran rewards. Those who wanted the Corvette or Lambda Shuttle immediately had no choice but to select their quarterly veteran rewards. Once again, you can't blame the players or penalize them for poor information or poor game systems.
Finally, the players who are the most adversely affected by this problem are the very players who have shown the most loyalty to Star Wars Galaxies through its tumultous two year history (and pre-history). This "let them eat cake" attitude does not fly well at all.
There are ways of remedying this. Given your history, I wouldn't be surprised if you do fix this. But this is yet another example of incredibly poor communication and attitude towards your customers. Bad form.
QFE...
I am a two year launch day supporter of SWG...and more and more the last couple months I am realizing that the SWG devs do not give a crap about communication or us for that matter.

Who cares really,
These are the lamest stuff I have ever seen in a game. There is no real point to claim after the 1st year so why bother. Looks like they never got around to making vet rewards so they just put any old crap together.
Good work by the art deptment as usual. At least they still do quality work.
Lol you know what you can do with your next 3 months interval , i'm out of here untill you guys get your act together you can do it on your time not mine .
sorry that hook has been soooo over used at least if your going to BS me try something new.
This really PISSES me off. I NEVER wanted a Death Star Hologram, but I figured it was the only 24-Month Reward Available. This is ridiculous!!
I think something should be done because we had NO word that there would be more and 3 Months is too long to wait for something that is already overdue. Heck i'll even trade in my Death Star Hologram if thats what it comes to. Its ugly anyhow...
