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.
Welcome to America.
Move Along....

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.
I love the ship, and think it makes a great award. I hope it proves useful enough to be brought out frequently.
I am a little disappointed about the terms though. Those first few months were really bad and I was hoping to have something (even if just a little trophy) to show off my "continuous since Beta" status. It also seems a little abusive to require buying JTL to show it, though I would have anyway.
How about a little trophy for Beta participants still here as well? Preferably wearable and also not tradable.

What happens if you played for 6 months then cancelled and picked it back up? screwed? that dosnt sound fair at all.
You guys need to give this to anyone to has played for 6 months consecutive or not

Q-3PO,
I have had been playing since day 1, but sometimes I have used a gamecard, and at the end of the gamecard subscription it said "cancelled", will this affect my status? Because I never really cancelled, it just put it on there. I really hope that you guys take that into consideration. If not, this is messing up the ppl that have used gamecards.

Q,
As a vet player, I'd just like to ask1 favor...
PLEASE tell me that you guys have realized that you were wrong in reducing the padawan box from 89 to 77 in the jedi conversion.Everyone thought that 89 points for getting that fair... but you changed it, and now the community is up in arms.
Heh, if you don't believe me, check the jedi forums. This may well be the breaking factor for the revamp. (If you don't change it, at least give a good reason.Anyone who has grinded jedi (sorry devs, but your excluded on this) knows clearly that the apprentice box is just as easy, if not easier then the padawan box. Just because of the xp jump dosn't mean that it is any harder... our skill in padawan helps ease that.)
The truth be told, I was happy with the revamp (besides that any melee class slaughters us). Then this came... Well, yeah.

I'm rather impressed. When I first heard rumors about "veteran rewards" it sounded like it would likely be rather corny. An actual deed to a ship that is special for long timers as well as happening on the JTL release day certainly does have a "wow" effect.
I remember when mounts and later when vehicles were introduced that some people made insane amounts of credits (all supply and demand I suppose). With this reward, people will still obsess over TIE fighters, X-Wings, and such (one of my in-game friends really wants a whole fleet of Hutt ships for himself I think) but this gift will stunt the profiteering a bit I hope.

I don't like the way a "Veteran" is determined here. I think a better way to determine aveteran would be to look at the amount of hours spent ingame or the total amount of months someone has been subscribed.

What Happens If After we get the Ship, we deactivate our account for a period of time, will it still be there and we'll just be left out of future veteran rewards, or Will it disapear?
