Items And Loot Archive

It strikes me as odd that the skiff, a pre-order reward, can be removed from the datapad and destroyed. I accept that this is a 1 per account reward for one server but it is also untradeable.

Which means, once you've generated it, you have it for life.

The Sorosuub Luxury Yacht 180 day reward is also untradeable but can be destroyed in your datapad as you always have a deed for it. (Comparisons stop here because you can also have the yacht on every character on your account rather than just one per server as with the skiff. Also, the yacht is indestructible whereas the skiff can be damaged and disabled.)

The BARC speeder reward is a once per account, once per server item but it is tradable. This means that if you destroy yours, you are able to get another by buying one from another player.

It seems a bit harsh that, once you've generated it, you have to keep your skiff in your datapad forever and will not be able to remove it to make space for other vehicles for the lifetime of your account. You have no way of being able to get another should you destroy it. Granted they've increased number of vehicles you canstore in the datapadbut if they introduce even more vehicles, they'll be filled up too and you'll still never have the option of not having the skiff in the datapad.

I would have thought that it would be better with such unique and, more importantly, untradeable items to ensure that they can be redeeded (which, if memory serves, you can't currently do with vehicles) or have a permanent deed similar to the yacht in case of accidental/deliberate destruction.

Or do I just have unreasonable expectations?

One can only hope if they continue to create vehicles rewards they continue to up the numbers of vehicles in the datapad aswell...

I think they did . . . I know someone with 6 vehicles on their datapad . . . or was 6 always the limit?

The limit was raised to 6 vehicals in your dpad if you pre ordered. I have 5 as of this writing.

Wasn't so concerned with the increased number of vehicle slots, more with the fact that unlike all the other rewards that are one per account, the skiff is not tradable. That means if you destroy it then you have no way of getting another. At all. Ever.

I would have thought an untradeable reward should have a permanent deed like the yacht to allow you to destroy it and regenerate it when you want to. Either that, or make it tradable so that you can get another by buying one.

I agree. My skiff was disabled and I destroyed it thinking it could be reclaimed like the Flash Speeder. I tried and only got the 'no such command exists' message. So I guess I'm just screwed.

6 vehicles, sweet!

1. AV-21, 2. Brac, 3.Transport Skiff, 4. Jetpack (If I had one), still room for 2 of the 'generic'/'expendable' vehicles.
