Snowballs were released for two seperate xmas'.

I have a stack of 2005 and 2008 snowballs, they are distinguisehed by the MMV or MMVIII naming of the balls.

But yes they were very fun, and initially they were not melted straight after xmas, it was only after abuse of aggro mechanics later in the year that they had to be melted. Snowballs caused you to red box, but did not trigger any concord responce, this led to people believing it was sanctioned comabt and returning fire with normal eweapons.. to which concord does respond :)

I have fond memories of releasing my pent up aggression on concord, yes even snowballing concord ships didnt get you shot :)

So yes CCP, how about a little gift of snowball MMXII this year?

I remember getting hit by snowballs about 150km off Rens top station in my shinny new Stabber. I nearly had heart failure, I thought I was under attack.

memories memories.

I like the idea behind this, so I've taken the liberty of letting my superiors at CCP know about this thread. Maybe it'll gain some traction that way. Keep up the good ideas!

I don't think we will have too many problems with people Concording their ships now that CCP removed the ability to disable Concord warnings. So snowballs really wouldn't have the same griefing problems they did in the past.

Well that felt weird... I think the fact that I am endorsing the removal of a potential form of griefing is a testament to how badly I actually want Snowballs back.

Good old snowball launchers. Maybe make the snowball stack unlimited from dec 1st to the 31st then every one gets as much fun out of them as they want.

There have been many, many more threads about this before either of ours were made. Lots of people want Snowball launchers to come back.

Come on guys, this thread isn't nearly big enough yet. I know there are thousands of pilots who want the same thing we do. It's just a matter of getting them to show their support.
