Official Xmas event has started in-game now

[XG99]

"Pilots willing to help Sandra’s Workshop can collect festive gifts from the Frost Dock outpost in the Njambalba system. A beacon outside Frost Dock will distribute delivery information when scanned."

What are they offering as incentives? The vague wording on the linked page isn't inspiring me to come back to the bubble.

[Sighman]

No idea, but I'm sure someone will stream the whole thing and the info will be out there asap.

I wish Festive items, such as fireworks weapons that do no damage or other function, didn't count towards our stored modules limit.

That's okay, you can just buy a ship and fit them to it. Problem solved.

There is some f...er with Conda at Frost Dock outpost who wants to kill everyone there.

Ganking people delivering presents to children at Christmas?

Hmm, I wonder why most cmdrs play in private group or solo.

[Hanzmeister]

I've accomplished the run for Snowman helmet and jumpers, and I get the message that I get these items, but I can't find them, where are they? Everything else was OK.

Do you have Odyssey? If so, they're under suit customisation

Yes I have, but in customisation is just default helmet and suit.

Thanks! So, looks like none of those rewards would be of any use to me (though I might have an Anaconda, can't remember as I've been out in the black so long). Not much point in making the 500+ jumps trip in my little Asp X with 45 jump range.

I only have 21LY Phew 100 jumps. 😂
Collect all the data for days and get ganked by an fully engineered Battleship without being able to defend yourself.

I wonder why there is almost no punishment for ganking. You get a small bounty and thats it. So technically they just farm kills for free and annoy other commanders. While they have almost zero risk doing so.
Many of them even enjoy just p*ss off others.

Its like going on a playground and crush the sand castles of playing kids and feel like a godlike one.
Nah kiddo ? I destroyed your hours of work. Ah yes you are too small to defend yourself against me. Hehehehe.

Thats why i prefer solo even though i would like to meet other commanders in game.
Most player encounters resulted in my death before i was even able to turn or esacpe.
And my ship is fully equipped. I just have no engineer yet.

Back to topic.
An Christmas event. I'm sorry but this is so unimaginative.
They could have let it be. its just another grind with renamed missions.

For newbies that wanna do 20M Hutton Orbital Run:

Please play solo/private. You can get griefed in open.
-Use adder/cobra mk3, fuel scoop, possibly extra fuel slots. You need 6 cargo slot to do all the drop, and make sure you have at least one gift left on your inventory.
-Disable non important modules after fuel scooping (shield, weapon, etc) to reduce fuel cost.
-If you are using supercruise assist, do full throttle to be faster.
-You can go AFK for 1 hour and 30 mins, but keep yourself peeled if you got attacked or interdicted.
-Enjoy your 20M. Help yourself for a better ship (ASP explorer for ex)
