Then quit. I fail to see how anyone could be disappointed with an amazingly cool and for that matter free ship.

Consecutive means that if you cancel your subscriptionand come back, you start over again. This is an incentive reward for continuously playing through to Jump to Lightspeed. In this case, "Veteran" means 6 months. If we add additional veteran rewards in the future, they may be shorter or longer in terms of time requirements.
Bleh - well you can count me out then. I've never subscribed 6 months consecutively because every few months I've cancelled to adjust my billing date a few days (or to take a week or two break). The funny thing is if you count the consecutive amount of time I'vebeen subscribedits probably about 90% of the time SWG has been live. I guess I'm not a veteran.

this is to stop people canceling on the 29th, when the jedi nerf comes out, boy you people are good
I have to admit, this is a very clever marketing strategy on the part of SOE.

You get a free ship anyways when you buy JTL. Moron. Also, they could've given us a ship thats actually worth something, like a Chiss Clawcraft. At least a fighter craft wouldn't be worthless, like a yacht. It may have guns on it, but it wont measure up to an X-Wing or TIE Fighter in combat.

Yeah SOE marketing rocks. They probably sat around for a few hours thinking "What one thing could we do that would:
A) Stop people from cancelling they're subscription
B) Pay for 6 consecutive months
C) Buy JTL
I know! Put in a cool ship! Weeee!"
You have Mastered the Marketing Profession...

GAME CARD ISSUE:
This MUST be fixed because as instructed by the Game Card instructions themselves and CSRs I've spoken to you are encouraged to cancel after inputting your Card # so that if you have CC information on the account it doesn't process that early and charge onto your card.
The game TELLS you to cancel to work your Game Card. I have been playing since launch, cancelling every 2 months to input my card stuff. This needs to be more examined, it should be based on days (equivilant to 6 months ~180)
*Please* make sure this issue is resolved.
Your own website INSTRUCTS us to cancel everytime we use a card. You cannot penalize legitimate Veteran players for followign your rules, please heed this simple logic. There MUST be a different system for devising what is a "Veteran"

I think the ship is pretty sweet looking and a cool reward but by the time JtL comes out people who started here just 3 months ago will be considered vets? At this point thats less than a quarter of the games life......I hardly consider that a veteran of the game. Hopefully something will come for those who have stuck through it since release or near release.
