Thread: Friday Feature June 25 – Veteran Reward Ship

I checked with the subscription group and there is a brief grace period. So Game Card users and people with a couple days of problems with accounts should get the veteran reward.
To my knowledge, the only way to get this ship is as a veteran (like you can't get goggles with getting the special edition).
Its still lame that you only reward people that have a consistent subscription. I don't see why taking a 2 week break from the game should take away my veteran status.
Oh yeah you should really check on that one.

What would be cool, is if we get the ship now, but we can't fly in space, we can call the ship like we will be able to at a starport, click on entership and a map comes up, like when you buya ticket, and you are transported to your new destination, no starport routes, and no wait.
Not quite accurate representation of the situation in JTL however.
Remember, you still will have to fly to the Hyperspace point to change sectors, and then get to the land point on the planet itself.

Thank you Q!!! I have only had 2 short subsciption problems, but this ends all my worries since they only lasted for a few hours. I will now go and start a religion in your honor.

Actually that's not true. The devs have already mentioned in one of the fansite FAQs and interviews that you will be able to go to a starport, and use your ship to instantly travel between planets without loading up into space. My guess is that the reason for this is because of how the shuttle system works as of now. It would be longer and actually a penalty to use a personal ship for travel when you have to go through 3, 4, or even more loading screens to get to your destination when someone using a public transport (assuming they got lucky and didn't have to wait the whole 9 minutes) could instantly load onto the new planet when the shuttle arrived with one loading screen.
I don't neccesarily like it this way, but that's just the way it is for now. When you go to a starport and own a personal ship you can either choose to instantly travel to your destination with one loading screen (like a public shuttle with no wait) or you can choose to load into space and fly there manually.

Hmm interesting. I'll take back what I said then. But will still reserve my opinion on the matter until it's "validated" in a beta state/stage or the like.
WHAT about those who had 6 months + of consecutive subscription, let it slip for a little time then reactivated. Since they did play for 6 months and are currently playing in all sense of the rules they should qualify. Not saying anything, but as a elder member who was in beta, I would be a little miffed if I didnt get something that some guy who signed up 3 months ago got. Im sure many share my view on this.
