Perhaps one day CCP will give us snowball launchers so we can make it snow on the dustbunnies below. Twisted

Space is cold is it not ?

Funnily enough ... it's not.
I didn't know either until somebody explained it to me.

I once ganked an afk shuttle ... it had a launcher + snowballs in it.
I though it's worth billions ... sadly, it's not. *lol*

How much could you actually sell snowball launchers for? I know you can't put them in contracts, but maybe you can station trade them.

I vote they not only bring the launchers back but also make them have unlimited ammo and not need reloading...like the rookie guns.

Which is why it only happened the one time.

I feel informing players on login would be enough to allow it to happen again.

Heh, people loose ships in mining on a daily basis everywhere.
Should CCP. put a warning on login for that too.

Heh it's only a game... Why take it seriously ?

First we need Jack'o Lanterns (a POS Module).



It needs to be released in about 10 days, when the real Punkin Chunkin happens!!! Make it a module like an air cannon:)

If I remember correctly, CCP disabled snowballs and launchers because they were being used as an exploit. Snowballs allowed you to redbox people, even in empire space, without flagging CONCORD.

Many people would automatically assume that a redbox = allowed to shoot back. Which is technically true.. except for snowballs.

Fun times were definitely had. Cool

It would be a shame if an exploit with the aggression mechanic were the reason they were not re-implemented. Hopefully with the new crimewatch and aggression mechanics et al coming in December it might open the way to snowballs.

Well, considering what they are about to add to the game mechanics, the very idea of this being the reason for not giving them out a second time is about to be irrelavent anyways.

NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.

Goons will just compress the snow, call it ice and corner the market.

If you're caught with more than 1 snowball and a Rorqual, you will die because you MIGHT turn it into ice.
