I'd like to request that this year we get festival turrets. With the ship rebalancing, many ships have lost their sole launcher hardpoint and we're left with no way to fit festival launchers to our favourite ships. Adding the Festival Turret would easily solve this problem.

While we're at it... why not a generic Snowball Blueprint.... People are mining ice.. wouldn't it make sense that we could use ice to make snow balls in some way :)

Clearly my counterpart has no penchant for good marketing. This idea deserves a great name, like Festival Cannon.

The real question is, launchers have always had a flight time. Would Festival Cannons provide instant joy application?

There's nothing stopping a module with the same functionality as a missile launcher being designated for turret hardpoints.

Why yes. Yes they would.

or just remove the "needs a launcher hardpoint" requirement from the current festival launcher and be done with it.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I like all the things above! Especially the Snowball BPO. I'd make them and hand them out like Santa Claus just to spread some joy. There's nothing worse than trying to find more to have MOOOOOAAaaaaar fun with everyone.

MOOOOAAARRRRR I say MOOOOAAAARRRRRR Big smile

Pure Win!

new ammo BPC types:

snowball BPC:

1 run = 20 snowballs (requires 1 trit, 1X PI item)
comes in 3 variants
10 run
25 run
50 run

Firework BPC (copper, BLA, BLA "cant remember the types)

1 run = 20 fireworks (1 trit, 1X PI item)
come in 9 variants (3 for each firework type)
5 run
25 run
50 run

these will drop randomly from any and all pirate/faction NPCs

ALL BPCs

1 run = 2 min
