Stonedsoul Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Hi, im having this problem where i have no gunship whatsoever in my hangar. Its not just that they are not unlocked: the category doesnt even seem to exist. WTH? Edited December 3, 2013 by Stonedsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwipe Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Were you a subscriber on Nov 1, 2013? Those who were have early access to gunships I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidElectron Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well, that's pretty rotten. So, even being a sub since early November, but apparently not early-enough November, I can't even unlock one? Guess I'll leave it alone until February.

Bull_Five_Golf Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 If there is no tab to see and purchase a gunship that's got to be a glitch so report it to customer service and/or make a ticket in game. Even if you don't have the early access unlock to one it should still be available for you to buy with rep. The fact that you're not getting rewards is probably part of the issue. Unless of course they didn't make it clear you won't be able to buy one until Feb when it "officially" goes live if you weren't a sub by Nov 1st. Nothing in the patch notes says there is a restriction on ship purchases though and plenty of people have already bought other ships. It's gotta be a bug.

Lymain Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well, that's pretty rotten. So, even being a sub since early November, but apparently not early-enough November, I can't even unlock one? Guess I'll leave it alone until February. I subbed November 2nd I think...missed it by a day or something. I can deal with not getting one for free, but it would be nice to be able to buy one to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly_Pocket Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) This is rather ridiculous in my opinion. I subbed mid November because I heard about the space combat and was eager to try it on release. Now I'm excluded from what's essentially a 3rd of the ship content? Not to mention the gunship is arguably the most overpowered ship of the 3. F'n hilarious. Jokes on me.

AlrikFassbauer Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) In my opinion - still as a newbie lerner - the Gunship isn't overpowered at all - it is very much like the PvP sniper : Great at long range, awful at short range. As soon as you've got a Scout or another type of ship in close combat behind you, you are toast. Unless you are very, very good with all of the controls ...

renegadeimp Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Why complain when the requirements to get the gunship were posted a good amount of time in advance of the cutoff date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedsoul Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 This is not a complain that I did not get the free gunship unlock. This is a complain that gunships seems to have been taken out of my game altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly_Pocket Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The entire thing is moronic and gives a huge advantage to those that have it, vs. those that do not. All ships should be available if you are a sub. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlrikFassbauer Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 All ships should be available if you are a sub. Period. I agree to that. Apart from those ships which must be bought via Fleet Requisition, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly_Pocket Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I agree to that. Apart from those ships which must be bought via Fleet Requisition, though. Oh ya I'm fine with that. If you want cosmetic **** feel free. But you should at least have access to the base ship as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atamasama Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The entire thing is moronic and gives a huge advantage to those that have it, vs. those that do not. All ships should be available if you are a sub. Period. They will be available, but long-term subscribers are rewarded by getting an earlier unlock on the GS. The same way that everyone will get a chance to play a starfighter, but subscribers get earlier access to it. You're complaining that you have content delayed to you, but I assume that you're a subscriber if you're playing a starfighter now. Which means your benefiting from the same sort of situation that you're complaining about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly_Pocket Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Maybe it wasn't clear. Preferring some subs over others is *********** retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atamasama Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well, as someone who subbed for years, I've spent a lot more money on the game than someone who subbed a month ago. And from EA's perspective, if they entice people to subscribe earlier by telling people that if they subscribe by a certain date they get an extra bonus, they end up getting more money out of people. TOR is a freemium game, and so it wants to entice people to spend more to get things in-game. So I don't think it's unfair. However, what I also think would be fair is to let people unlock the gunship with cartel coins. In fact, I think that they're stupid not to, if people want the gunship access that badly just let them buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly_Pocket Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sorry, but being active longer shouldn't give you CONTENT over other subs. Give cosmetic benefits if it's SUCH a huge deal, but preventing content is absolutely retarded. The reason you sub is to gain full access to THE CONTENT.
