Maybe I’m just stupid, but targeting other players to launch snowballs seems to be a dangerous activity. Do I get Concorded? Would the targeted player be in his/her rights to fire back with destructive force?

Just how does this work anyway?

Just lock them up, throw it at them and be done.

The above applies to fireworks too.

That’s what you want. Then he gets Concorded.

I had same questions. Taking a belt and braces approach, I switched all my safeties to green anyway, went out and snowballed my local ice-miners. No dramas.

Why snowball? I’d rather teabag the miners

Considering the length of the event (13 days), various task requirements (shoot 1 to 5 Snowballs) as well as the cost for new Snowballs, I suggest you turn off your Festival Launcher’s Auto-Repeat fire option.

Thanks, I already figured that out after wasting a couple of those magic snowballs. At the prices they’re selling for, they should have a side-effect of giving the shooter an orgasm.

Wrong kind of snowballing. 😋

Maybe they do that to the targets instead… in case you shoot them right in the snowballs. 🤭

Please help; over 100 snowballs (all my accounts) 3-4 payouts; I turned off auto fire, only hit a target once, I don’t get it, why? No matter how far away, is it because I’m in Jita. Any help most appreciated!

Drift out of station in a corvette, preactivate launcher (repeat off), target that one person with a killright on them. 😆

I suggest doing this right outside the Jita 4 trade hub, as there are so many people just floating in space. I live in Lowsec, where there aren’t many people, so Jita is my best bet. Or somewhere else along the way if I’m lucky.
