Is this something we can look forward to in the Kronos release this summer? Or is it due about the same time we will get the key to unlock our captain's quarters.


Seriously, if that's your biggest concern about this game, you really should leave the station.....

Supposedly there could/should/was a table at fanfest where players could fill in the blanks for ccp's lack of imagination how they should reward the now 11 year old vets.

No idea if that happened or was wishful hoping on ccp Falcon's part.


And the simpler (somewhat) solution of just taking an existing station and limiting access by some little filter that compares your character's age to the magic number, well, nevermind.

Should have just hired a Wal-mart greeter to check ID's at the docking.

Maybe they didn't lie and the stations are in Jovian space, and you just can't reach them.

Seems like a lot of unnecessary work for probably less then 5% of the population.

Oh, that would have been hilarious - imagine the cries of players who had stuff trapped in the station, and couldn't access the stuff for X amount of years Big smile

You seriously think there are that many TRUE 11 year old vets now? Most of the year one accounts are either now inactive, or being posed as the original owner "hurrrr hurrrr I'm 11 years old" when they bought it just a couple years ago from the fourth guy :P

In addition to Vet stations there should be Vet water fountains and Vet bathrooms. Want to ride the bus and only been playing 9 years? Get to the back.

Well I'm going on 8 years myself, original owner and for the most part always been subbed. So I am sure there are alot more of them you believe.

I think they should do "something" for those players who have stuck it out for so many years.

The only vets that actually cared about it are also the vets nobody can remember the names of for more than eleventeen seconds.

What exactly would you do with your 10 year vet station anyway?

Let's say the location it ended up being in was 36 jumps away from where you are currently set up. Would you actually move yourself all that way just to sit in a station with a bunch of other bitter vets?

What are you even upset about?

This is just something that CCP didn't really think through.

Give 10 year vets a cool exclusive ship or something like the other awards they give out.

I agree.

They should make EVE a better game. This will benefit the 10-year characters.

Everyone else too, but you may ignore that if it bothers you.

I'm amazed that anybody that's played that long still believes in what CCP promise, most players it usually takes 10 months to grow cynical rather than 10 years.

Quoting this post for context.

Back when it was made, development were looking into how to do this, and the time it would take vs the overall level of engagement that would come out of it.

It's been decided by our Development team that a Station is not the best use of resources.

That said, there'll be more information regarding this at the EVE & DUST Community Panel at Fanfest, as well as some time where we'll be discussing the idea of rewarding our long standing veterans, and taking suggestions on what people would like to see instead.

We'd like to hear you guys out, gather feedback, and see what the Community wants as a 10 year celebration of EVE in game.

So, come along to the EVE & DUST Community Panel at Fanfest 2014, and lets sit down and have a talk about what the best solution would be for rewarding our 10 year veterans.

Understandable decision i think, what was the point in this station anyways? It's not like you could do something in it.

Hi, I'm Cygnet, if if you think I'm NOT the original owner of this toon, please check my posting all the way back to 2004.


Here's a gem from 07 that's STILL linked in a CCP sticky in the F&I forum.
