Thread: Friday Feature October 8th – Veteran Reward: SoroSuub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000
The EBGames website says that the beta period is defined as October 8th through the 22nd. Well, it's October 8th. I've called all the EBGames in town, and there are no preorder boxes to be had (my husband and I preordered locally).
My husband would really love to join me in space. He isn't able to register for a chance at the beta, because the browser on his computer refuses to do so. He just figured he'd wait til the 8th. So my question is, is this erroneous information? When will preorders be allowed in?

Oh well. I'd hoped that was an easy fix. I guess we'll just have to pick our favorite ship and stick with it for now. Thanks for looking into it and letting us know.
That sucks. Guess I'm not decorating my imp multi-craft.
Actually, if you want to use both, you're not decorating either the yacht or the imp ship. Put one piece of furniture in one ship and the other one cannot be launched. Horrible.
Congratulations, you have just made the "reward" a next to WORHTLESS bite in the ass. I mean why bother with something we cant customize or use. Obviously everyone will wamt to at least LAUNCH the other multiplayer ships when they get that far in teh skill tree, if they survive the boredom...but we cant even do that...so my reward can just sit in my datapad and remind me what a piece of crap it is everytime I hit ctrl-D. The perfect reward for being stupid enough to pay SOE for this long...ugh

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

1. Will the SoroSuub 3000 count as one of our 2 allowed ships? Seeing as its unarmed and all that.

Too bad, the googles were more useful. If it counts towards the ship limit in datapad ill delete it, if not ill use it for cheating (invulnerable).

Why dose everyone want 2 multi-pass ships? why would anyone need 2 multi-pass ships?
1 for combat with other people and 1 for touring with friends and just having fun.

Because the deciamtor (imp multi-person ship as far as i know not in beta) almost looks as good and can do damage

Well this particular Vet reward ship is a multi ship but without guns. I would like to use a multi ship to actually fight co-op style in space. Someone driving while the others shoot.

most ppl would rather have a multi-pass ship so they can actually have fun fighting and manning the turrets.
cant do that in this "vet reward"

Because without guns or any kind of combat ability, this ship is worthless except as a space decoration. If you want to fight in space in a master level mp ship, you will never be able to use the yacht unless you dont decorate either of them, or you dont mind playing musical chairs with your inventory.
