Veteran SWG players home in on veteran reward
It's been some time now since Star Wars Galaxies launched, but I was surprised to see that they're now offering their 57 month veteran award. Almost five years have passed since the Galaxy Far, Far Away opened to players, and it's been about four since the Jump to Lightspeed expansion brought players into space. Folks who have been in-game since the beginning now have a brand-new option for space travel, a doodad profiled in this past week's Friday Feature.
The Homing Beacon will be a housing placeable item handed out to veteran players. If you're in the same star system as your beaconed house, you'll now have the option to land directly at your home from the system's space station. It can be placed and removed multiple times, but only the veteran player can make use of it; other housing administrators are out of luck.
I've always been partial to these regular gifts from the dev team; my personal favorite is probably the Jedi Starfighter hologram from the 21-month slot - just beautiful. Do you have a vet award that you thought was particularly spot on?
