I think 6 month players should get the choice of a luxury ship or a combat ship. This would please both combat and non combat players.





No it wouldnt. the YT1300 can do both. This "reward"is less than half of a ship. It might as well be no reward at all.


I wanted my yacht to be my smuggler's pride and joy ... but now we learn that it

a) wont be able to fight its way out of noob space

b) cannot be decorated if we want to ever launch a multi-passenger ship ship that can.



It can do nothing but look pretty ... but it cannot be decorated or you cannot launch your ship that can do something else. UTTERLY WORTHLESS!


Its wasted art-team resources. Any serious JTL player who wants a mulit-passenger ship will be forced to go with another ship. These wil be deleted almost right away to make room for them.

Is the Vet. Reward for the age of the Account or age of character.


Galaxy 1 : 6 months this char. gets it.

Galaxy 2 : 3 months this char. will not.


Anyone know if this is right or will both Characters get it.

I gotta say, I'm impressed with the visuals of the yacht, everything I expected, and more. However, there are some aspects to the design that I disagree with entirely:


1. invulnerability: Invulnerability makes exploring pointless, as mentioned by an earlier poster. It destroys part of the fun of flying such a cool ship.


2. non-upgradeability: I can live with that, as long as it has hyperdrive, if possible though I'd like to request minimal upgradeability if at least, because I don't want to have the exact same ship as every other 6 month player, no two ships should EVER be the same.


3. furniture etc:I understand the whole limiting the database strain, but at the same time, I was looking forward to owning two multiperson ships, one of which being the yacht (which I again must say looks incredible, kudos to you devs ) and one of the others. Now, as everyone knows, decorating takes so much time and it is soooo incredibly mind numbing, that if people can only have furniture in one multiperson ship, many people willgive up on this yacht (probably due to non-combat ability, and non-upgradeability as well)


One feature that I partially disagree on is the non-combat function, I was looking forward to blowing stuff up in my yacht, cruising around looking cool and everything, but this is ok. If at all possible however I'd request a change here, maybe like upgradeability, make combat limited in the yacht.



In closing I'd like to thank the devs that built this wonderful ship for all of us vets, and say that I'llsurely be flying it on launch day, showing it off

Hey TH one more question.


i am assuming that the Yacht will be rewarded specifically by account age.


so does this mean if i delete my main character on my account that has been active since 6-26-03 to say make an ithorian, will i still have get my yacht?


Yes, it is based on account age and not character age.

Hey TH, can we put vendors in ships? I think that would be cool for the bar when I open up my buisness.




Just a follow up on two items - - Vendors will not be allowed in space. Sorry, but there are technical limitations.


There are also technical limitations with having more than one multiplayer vehicle decorated at the same time. That won't be possible. I wish it were different, but it can't be. Sorry.

TH, if they made the yacht upgradeable it would solve 98% of the problem here. The fact that you cannot have 2 (useable) multi-playerhips if either one is decorated would still suck-to-high-heven ... but if the yacht were upgradable at least when we pick and chose our ships we wont have to IMMEDIATELY DISCOUNT this "reward".

Something needs to be done to keep from re-decorating the same yacht a million times. That is the biggest problem. I almost wish that it could be attackable though... the naboo yacht was unarmed and attacked while escaping Naboo space.

So a non-combat type would buy the $30 expansion just to fly in this? hahahahahahahahah

Then the yacht simple has to be upgradeable.
