Proposal
Update Eta-2 Actis Deed to be "No Trade Shared"
Justification
It cannot be used unless the player completes the questline.
Motivation
To help reduce new players being taken advantage of.
Hello.

I very much enjoy JTL. Loved it 20 years ago, love it today. It’s why I play.
Eta-2 Actis has been my goal.

I know that that deed is obtainable through the questline. However, a while back, whilst scrolling through a Bazaar terminal, I see two entries listed for that deed. One has 3 deeds up for sale. So, because all I have been doing is JTL, and my schedule isn’t the best, I figured I would save up and buy the deed.

I didn’t think this would be a problem. Because the game has the Eta-2 Actis deed listed, I have to trust the devs (and everyone else who knows better) that that deed can be traded or sold. The idea that I have to check the internet for every item I want to purchase on the Bazaar is absurd. So when you complete the quest, you get the deed and you cannot use the deed without completing the quest. So who would buy this deed then? Everyone who did the quest has it.

So today I finally got enough money. There were 3 Eta-2 Actis deeds listed. I purchased the least expensive one.

I right-click to generate ship and I get a lovely message pop up that says, “You have not completed the quest needed to fly this ship.”

I propose that the Eta-2 Actis deed be updated to be “No Trade Shared.”

Let’s make sure no one else falls prey to this.

Thanks for your attention.

The Development Team has provided a final answer on this suggestion. Votes are no longer accepted.
Seeing as you get the deed from the questline you require to fly it, no one can ever need to buy this from another player. I am fully in support of this.

I will sponsor it for staff attention, absolute no brainer.
 
Wouldn't really have an issue with the quest giving multiple deeds if needed.

Or it would be a case of do the quest again on an alt, its quite a straight forward quest iirc

I'd also be on board with there being some kind of warning or indicator on the description of the ship that can be see as its listed on bazaar.

Dont mind how its resolved really but i do think its an issue in its current format
 
Disclaimer note on the deed seems the best approach. Don't even care if that disclaimer note is on all the deeds and just warns that the ARC-170 and the Eta-2 Actis deeds require completion of a pre-requisite questline.

Also don't really care if we remove the requirement from the deed altogether. It's really just a legacy of this being a paid expansion and they didn't want players buying expansion content on the marketplace.
 
I don't see the virtue of "No trade shared" vs. simply "No Trade." and I'm not thrilled with the characterization of the seller "taking advantage of new players" they had one they didn't want, they put it up for sale.
 
This is a bug and the deed should be designated No Trade Shared.
