It's not the authenticator that disturbs me - it's the fact that it's anything but trivial to implement fast travel to your ship. What kind of goofy setup did they implement that would actually complicate this simple requirement.

Congratulations on owning a piece of third-party hardware that allows you to access the security vendor. What about those people that think smart phones are a waste of money and don't have one or can't get one?

My point is, at this moment, NA has more options to access this feature of the game then other areas do. It'll change in time, but right now it doesn't seem as fair considering it's basically a lack of support for select areas.
Computer specs

If somebody was standing on a street corner screaming "This town sucks, I'm moving!" you'd think he was crazy, right? I quit threads are the same thing.

If you dont have the cash then i feel for you. If you think they're a waste of money then it's your own choice

At any rate you still don't need it to play. I lvled my 2 50s without the security key and any benefits it includes with no problems at all

And yet on the recent blog they said that they are putting something together which will allow you to go directly to your ship. The link is in the stickies.

Never said it was needed, didn't even say it useful. What I did say had to do with the fact that in BW quote he talks about how easy it is to get the access to the security vendors, when it's only easy for some people in some regions, as evidenced by the OP.

Ok, fair point

Hopefully they will make it easier available down the line

Could you be so kind to show me where exactly in EULA it is written, that people who use smatrphones of a special brands are supposed to get more of this game than people who do not use them? Just in case I did miss something. Mr. Zoeller said we all have same in-game stuff, and we all are happy with it, and we all need no extra features.

ps: Also just have in mind, that android and mac are NOT the only OS options for smartphones. So keep your feelings for "not having cash" to yourself, ok?

Having access to the security key vendor is optional and not required to play the game, ever.

You dont get to tell me what to do ok?

If your self entitlement is so big that you absolutely cannot play without 1 hour cd fleetpass then use the freaking simulator and stop acting like a child, ok?

There's nothing self-entitled about NOT being able to use something that is in game.

There is something discriminatory about NOT giving something to everyone that they know help mitigate the problem with the travel system because they want there to be a draw for security keys though.



Otherwise they'd just stick the 1 hour Fleet Pass on normal vendors (as a lot of MMORPGs in fact do).
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
