oh
it would be very bad if only the oldest character received the ship , for me any my PA anyway. we set up on Lowca all those months ago always with the intention of moving to a European server when they launched. We did this soon as they come up and Farstar-European is now our home - as far as I am aware no one plays their old Lowca characetr now.
If only 1 per account was put in, please consider giving the player a choice of which character gets the ship
Well, the way the team is leaning, it will be all characters, but if I say, "The team is thinking about...", then it will be law and I can't commit to that just yet...

My two cents...The oldest character may not be the one you want to have the reward ship.

This really is a bunch of BS. It should be for all characters under a qualifying account, not just characters 6 months old.
The reason being that I will now go out and ensure I have all my character slots now maxxed so I can get multiples of every damn reward and, in most cases, be able to cross server trade them.
This only encourages ghost characters to be created and here we though you had a database problem.
Go team!
I'm still yet to hear from a Dev whenever the "veteran ship" will be multi-person (like YT1300) or single-person ...
People have a real problem reading things!
Star Wars Galaxies is pleased to announce the first veteran reward for longtime players! Veteran players are those players who have subscribed for at least 6 consecutive months. These players will receive the deed for the multi-passenger ship model SoroSuub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 the day Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed launches. This starship model has been popularized in Star Wars fiction by Lando Calrissian's personal vessel, the Lady Luck. Non-veteran players will receive the reward once they become veteran players. Similar to the Special Edition goggles, this item will not be tradable.

Yeah TH I agree with being able to make the choice on which character gets the ship....xserver trading will most likely occur and will mean they will be sold to nonvets and will make this reward no longer a privelige.
Uhm. Please read the post 2 up from yours. the man quoted the fact that the Veteran reward, like the goggles can't be traded..
Meaning. the ship is yours. It is not going to your buddy who just logged on 10 days earlier and missed getting a ship, while you trade your ship from another server so you can get one on the server you normally play.
TH. thank you for the reward. However you decide to issue it is fine with me.. I'm sure I can find a use for it.

You could do a couple of things here:
- The ships are non-tradable a believe, so you could just give one to every character the player has
- Give it to the first character that logs in
- Give it to characters over say, 3 months old
But if they are indeed non-tradable (I'm sure I read that somewhere) then what would be the harm in giving every character the player has one? Is there some downside I'm not seeing?

Why is this even being discussed? These ships are to be nontradable correct? Who cares if all characters are given them. They can't trade them unless they plan on selling their account so this should have been a mute point from the get go. Let them have ships on characters they never play nor have money on to do anything worthwhile on that character.

I think the choice would reallybe needed if it was only one character, though lately my oldest is getting more attention. A random choice (and oldest is really that), or last played, is likely to be a disaster for many.
I would hate to see all the screams of disappointment.
