Which will spend 100% of it's time docked because nobody will want to lose it? Sure let's spend dev and artist time on this...

I have other ships that spend majority of their life in bay, some are very rare. I still keep them, look at them, admire them and even ocasionally fly them. I cant fly all of them at the same time. Lol

Let's be honest.
if you got some rare one time awesome ship you'll never undock with it and you'll store it on some highsec station for all times as you know you'll get podded the moment you undock with it.

Vet station? meh... what's the use? there is nothing to do on stations beside counting spins.

I'll recommend some vanity skins (permanent) and maybe more options to avatar (like unique vet backgrounds?)... nice things which you could actually use.

I personally made a thread in Features about new backgrounds and saw many similar after that. That was like 2 years ago?

All you will see here has been proposed countless times, as even this thread is nothing original.

There is none.

as stated they were looking into a vet only station, but the idea was foolish, as it would not be used much anyway.

someone mentioned letting us have Swords in our CQ like the eve devs who hit 10 years get. That was an interesting idea.

I'd settle for a badge on the forums, or a ship or even a skin might be nice. But i'm good either way

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

This would be a great idea. When your account gets to be 10 years old you get a BPC 5 run that is the ship. Just like they did with the Gnosis.

How about a new system anyone can use. But it's only available on Feb 29th. And to dock up in one of the stations, you have to be sitting in a leather Thong and provide pics to the CSM 24 hours before the 29th to prove you are kinky and sick...

They said they were building a "Vet station". Never happened.

I think they ought to go a different direction. Call be bat **** insane, but I myself already have a stockpile of "gift" ships with any other active attempt at collecting them beyond just holding on to the ones I get anyways when released, and I'm not even close to being a 10-year vet -- can't imagine the size of a 10-year vet's fleet of freebies should they actually keep them and don't bother selling.

The Skin idea I like (Like, the Golden Pod maybe? Or make it for any ship they own). Personally, I don't think it should something that can be bought, though, and is instead auto unlocked for the char. That way, only an actual char that old can use them. My reasoning is that I doubt they wouldn't be as pleasing if everyone and their mother could theoretically unlock them regardless of char age -- to put it in better words, I don't think I should have a way to buy it off market and use it until my char(s) hit 10 years if it's only meant for 10-year vets.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Maybe after 5 years yacht and then after 10 yars, a new skin for it.

Hmmm, that sounds silly.

As silly as a tshirt with "All I got was this tshirt" on it.

Whole idea seems to boild down to that tshirt meme.

A big gold chain with a golden mjolnir that has "OG" stamped into it, and a pose to go along with it that has you biting your lower lip and exposing your top teeth which are now also gold. Best recognize, son.

The entire idea is crap. If your vet skillpoints still don't give you what you paid for, just be a man and move on already.

Besides, Jita station traders don't mean anything to me, let alone "EVE vetness" if they've sat there for 13 years




Jita 4-4 is the Vet Station Big smile

Ask CCP they would know that one P

The thing is that I cant name any game that gives long time players anything special. At least not a game I played. Either things are for new players or its an event open for everyone. The moment long time players get something, young players will feel left out. But thats exactly how long time players feel now.

At least we can name a game where the developers brag about it.

I know this has prob been talked about before, but i cant seem to get the search function on the forums to work properly. Does CCP have anything in the works as far as Vet Loyalty goes(10+ years)? I had read somewhere a long while back that they were thinkin bout doin a system that only vets with 10 or more years could dock in. Is that going to happen or was that just a rumor mill thing?


Was hoping this was going to be a thing too, but now theres the 15 and 20 year markers next.

Long Service medals all round!

Should only be applicable to original char / account holders though. None of the transferred oldies.
