Why no VA ship now?
 

Well, this is something I've wondeirng, and fairly annoyed really, about. A while ago, about 2 or 3 or whatever days after the big season 5 patch I became VA on my first and hghest ranked character. Only to find that whe I got to the ESD shipyards that you don't get a ship for reaching VA anymore. :P Why?

the va token is a 500-600 day vet reward i think now,no other way to get one,as it keep the new f2p players grinding dilithium when f2p launches.

Ah. Well that sucks. :P lol. I work all this time getting my character to VA, looking forward to getting that VA ship and stuff and I finally reach it and I can't have it. :P

Yup, Cryptic decided to short-change subscribers just because they didnt want people to just subscribe 1 month and then cancel to get a VA ship.
Despite the protests and overwhelming negative feedback from the community, aka their paying customers.

2 or 3 days too late....
 

Had you reached VA1 just a few days earlier, you would have indeed gotten your free VA token...
sorry.... :(

Sad Panda

lol. Yeah, it's quite anooying, really. :P Well they could make an exception for life time subscribers, surely? :P

no. because of money.

It is a bug, I sent a ticket in and they said it is fixed in one of the upcoming patches for the 600 day vet.

you have to buy the VA ships now. Cryptic needs their money.

Well, sort of. If you are a 600 day veteran you get the token so people who bought lifetime subs near to launch-time get them.
