Free Arx between now and Christmas
You can get 100 arx per day just by logging in to the game (and that amount increases). From what I recall, on the last day or two you get 500 or more.

Enough for a decent ship skin or two, at least.

I preferred it when there was not arxs and you could buy many items in packs instead of individual like now.

and even the special items, and we use to get at halloween , like the pumkin head glow sticker and spider glow sticker.

would be really nice if they just added all those things in the arxs store for everyone who missed out a chance to get it.

Including the cobra 4

or

make it extra dlc content for us to purchase

Back before ARX, you could buy certain things individually, and other things came in packs... And even now, most things do actually still come in packs and can't be bought individually.

and even the special items, and we use to get at halloween , like the pumkin head glow sticker and spider glow sticker.

They do a new version of them occasionally... You know we've got 3 different versions of the "black" paintjobs now? There's the original black paintjobs (that everyone got for free if they'd bought the game before a certain date), The Black Friday paintjobs, and the Midnight Black paintjobs (not including things like the Apollo paintjobs that come in packs, can't be arsed counting them all lol). The original one is still the best in my opinion.

We've also got more than one type of gold paintjob, gold and golden. Golden looks more gold coloured, but the Gold one is much shinier...

would be really nice if they just added all those things in the arxs store for everyone who missed out a chance to get it.

Then there would be no point in doing any time limited/seasonal things... You could just grab them when they're available. If you missed it this year, grab it (or a new version) next year...

I didn't... :Steamfacepalm:

I also didn't include the black paintjobs that are available all the time like Black Apollo...

I've not even seen the Void ones though... Were they new this year?

Are they as good as the original black paintjob (none of the others are, they're all too light).

They're new this year, and they're black with a deep purplish tinge in the right light.

Organisations that give everything away for free are called Charities

Organisations that make things and sell them for money are called Companies.

It's worth learning the distinction.

Is it a free~to~play game? No~

Can I draw endless parallels between this shameless business entity and mobile games?

Yea~

Yea~

And while you're learning the distinction between a company and a charity, I think you also need to look up the meaning of the word "parallel". Because this is nothing like mobile games...

Also... Operating a company exactly how the majority of users wanted (as declared by a vote, before the game even launched), is "shameless"? There's certainly no shame in delivering something they promised to deliver... But that's obviously not what you meant...

IF there's any one that should feel shame right now, well take a good long look in the mirror... And stop posting this utter drivel.

I might check them out later if they're still available... Pretty sure I've still got a bunch of Arx on one of my accounts lol :steamthumbsup:

Precisely! If you want things - you buy things. And sometime developers can give you a freebie or two, which they are not obliged to do.

Good grief. Is there anything that does not attract the snarky, pessimistic spite of some commanders? It's just a fun trinket to mark the festive season and here we are using it as a platform to discuss charities and companies whilst others are determined to say it isn't enough.

Merry nothing to all.

There. Happy now?

@funkynutz , @Dolphin Bottlenose

You don't get that it's a pay2play project that operate as free2play project.

I'm not obliged to support this business practice.

"utter drivel" is copy-pasted boring stations, and you drooling over space.jpg loop outside of stations for eternity. It feels worse than an indie project with a single designer view. All places feel the same in this galaxy.
