I still have my old melted snowballs and the launcher. Shame I missed the Christmas event back then as my parents didn't have broadband when I went home for Christmas. Would love some Mk MMXII's and it's pretty low hanging fruit for a crowd pleaser.
CCP please make it so! |

Experimental (meta level 3) Elephant sized snowball (full grown)
Prototype (meta level 4) Planet sized snowball

Technically, no.
Temperature is a function of the how fast the atoms and molecules in an object or gas are moving. Vacuum is not itself inherently cold - in fact it can't be said to have temperature at all. The occasional particle that you do run into in space is zipping along fast enough to qualify as having a temperature of several thousand kelvin.
As a matter of fact, the bigger problem in space is keeping a ship nice and cool. The only way it can lose heat is through radiating it as infrared, which is spectacularly inefficient. The heat of all the people and electronics inside your average spacecraft can't escape very quickly, with the result that if you're not careful it just builds and builds and builds...
Mass Effect got that last part very right, btw. if you ever read the lore of the setting, they go to pretty extreme lengths to dump heat.

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.

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.

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.  |

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.
