Anyone else pick up on this.
Your giving us vet rewards, great, cool and thanks. BUT
Anyone else notice that they are forcing us to purcase JTL to get a veteran reward?
ok, maybe we can get reward without JTL. But we can't use it!
Wonder how long it took them to think up a veteran reward that would make them money!
Nice angle you guys are running there.
your not gonna buy JTL? dumbass

So for playing SWG for six months, I get a reward which I can't use unless I buy JTL.
How blatant can the cash grab get?
How about a reward we can use in SWG and have the ship as a reward after 6 months of JTL.
As always, it has nothing to do with customer satisfaction and everything to do with squeezing the last few $$ out of us.
BAH!

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.
You know Q, that royally sucks. There's a lot of us who for whatever reason just can't always keep the subscription active, but we come back very quickly. For some its game cards, in my case, for example, we sometimes have to put off the subscription while we wait for a paycheck to come in, so I've been down by 2 days here or a week or so there.
Why not just do it by total subscribed months, rather than consecutive, and make it more? If you've been subscribed for a total of 12 months, say, you get a vet reward. That way game card users or people who had to take some time off for school or anything like that get their EARNED veteran reward as well.
I agree 110% its just no friggin fair the way it is now, Ive played since beta 3, i earned this dang thing, and to deny it cause i had to cancel for a few days till i got money twice is just plain BS

I'll bring up the game card issue with the subscription group next week.
WHOA.... Hold your horses. Ive had an active account since july. I pay by game cards after they were released. Are you saying you dont consider me a veteran? Say it isnt so.

Just make it simple Devs. If a person pays six months worth of subscribtion on any single account that account gets the reward. This way we make sure anyone that has played for at least six months gets thier reward. An even Game Card users get it since I assume you track thier money payed as well.

I think someone posted that a site had the floorplan for it. Could try googling it.

What about players that played 6 or more consecutive months since launch, then recently took a break for whatever reason?

Veteran Reward Ship huh? Hows about an Elder Reward something? There are a bunch of us looking at this ship thinking thats great and all, but we have spent the last YEAR playing/paying for this game...not just 6 months. It will be probably at least 6 months before JTL comes out...how special is a ship that everyone in their mother is going to have? There are a bunch of us who have had to deal with your misdirected priorities over that year (jedi revamp vs. combat revamp, Image Designer Revamp, Droid Engineer Revamp) and I feel that having such a small requirement to be eligible for the reward is wrong. At least up the veteran requirement to 10 months or even a year. Or even possibly allow only long time subscribers to carry passengers. The Lady Luck is cool and all, but eveyone is going to have one, making what seems like a reward feel like nothing special IMHO. How about throwing in a Roller Disco Pimp Lando Copilot who provides comedy relief or at least gives away some Colt 45?

just curious.. how many ships will we be able to own? or is this still on the DL till later press releases?
getting this newship is awesome and thank you Devs for this, but it still would be nice to be able to have this multi-passenger ship and a single pilot fighter

Man that sucks that i got a game card for the last month or so well at least i made it 11 months.I think that people who use gametime cards should not be screwed on future rewards cause i just didnt like the fact that it drew from my bank account but im not gonna edit it till my gametime card runs out in aug so i guess that means ill miss 2 consecutive months and ive really been here since day one playing everyday.
Great job devs

Ah phooey. I've been playing this game since last July , but becuase I use thier game cards I'm screwed. Nice to see that buying thier product is NOT what they want me to do. : ( I hope I can buy one at least.
