Snowballs got given to every player just over a year ago as a christmass prezzie. They cannot be sold on the market, nor are their bpos of them.
You can buy them, abit expensively, on contracts.

My regards for your coolness under fire.
From what I have read, some pirate use the snowballs as a trick to make people attack them.
As snowballs don't cause aggression, if you return fire thinking it is a "valid" attack, CONCORD come and destroy your ship.

You can indeed buy them on the market. But you need to have one already. Just go to view market info from the item itself.

It works in other places too, I've caught haulers in 0.0 who have jumped through a gate thinking I had done something to trigger the aggression timer. ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic |

They're good for springing gank traps by making someone think you've aggressed so he calls in his mates.
I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it.

Personally I would love it if CCP seeded snowballs somehow.
Say there is a minute chance you get them if you mine ice, rats have a chance to drop them in ice belts or somthing like that.
I still have a coupple of thousand snowballs left and quite a few launchers, had alot of fun pelting people in Oursalert with Omber Zombie round X-mas but as no more are comming into the game I will eventially run out :(
Also, they may not cause aggression but they do cause damage... -10 thermal damage that is so it still darn hard to kill someone with it :)
As for people using them to trick people to shoot back and get Concorded... some people will always cross the line and destroy the fun for the rest of us...

I played since September, but I did not get any snowballs or launcher? Do you need to do something specific to get the present? --- Currently flying a PvE geared Crusader and Prophecy |
