IMO You are not a Vet unless you played the original Uprising.
You know, the build that hit PSN from December 2011. :P

I'd say you're a Vet if you remember the hardfreezes during closed beta last summer. |

If this is true, my qualification would be +£bervet. The amount of hardfreezes I encountered is staggering :p I've been playing since around end of February, the beginning of March last year.
I have to say the game has come a long way, but I still miss a few things from the old days. I really really liked the old Skirmish mode and small + medium installations. I miss those tiny anti-infantry blasters ^^
Those medium guns were only slightly less powerful than current day larges though. Or the tanks were really bad, since they were free anyway :p |

Pretty much whoever played in the closed beta... Thats basically it
Given the massive changes to the game, I would say there are now no "vets" at all, because we're all learning to play again. |

Vets keep on keeping on... no matter the costs. They attack when their team is redlined, teammates 'afk' or camping the hills for " cheap shots". You always see their names on the killfeed, killing or gettin' killed, any hour of the day. They carry on no matter the hand dealt them. They get dirty... |

A 'vet' reflects your time served.
A 'war vet' defines an individuals length of service in the armed forces.
A 'dust vet' defines an individuals length of service playing dust.

A vet is someone who has had a large amount of experience beta testing Dust and has been here through several builds. For example, I've been in Dust since last August. I've been through several builds and have been playing about 7-14 hours a day almost daily (I have no life really), so I'm and old vet though there are still plenty who were vet's before I got here.
As for achieving Vet status, I would say that once you've actively played for 2 full builds and begun your third build, I'd say you've reached it.
As for what defines us, we keep playing no matter how bad things get. Dirty summed it up well:

buy a subscription first. EVE is not something you can jump into that easily so just be aware that if you want to do pvp and kill players. you will die, a lot, a lot lot.
i suggest joining a corporation focused on teaching. like eve university or others.
once you get the hang of how things work. you will most likely know what you want to do in eve. then you just have to figure out the most efficient way to make isk. then once you start making isk. you can start paying for your account through isk rather than subscription. this will usually take about 3 months or more to make enough to start paying for your account with isk unless you are a very fast learner.
also dont get ahead of yourself, know that it takes months to master each class of ships. you start with frigates, get comfortable in frigates and destroyers because you will be too underskilled for anything else for atleast 2-3 months, dont even try or you will just throw all your isk away. its comparable to getting a proto suit and having only militia fittings on it. get good fittings in a cheap suit/ship and you will be surprised what you can do with a "noob ship/suit"
this is just a brief explanation lol
