Ha! I solved them all, and without peeking too! Gotta admit in the recent years' christmas puzzles I always got frustrated at some point and looked up some solutions on the forum. This time it was easy enough for me. ^^ The biggest difficulty was in fact to correctly identifiy all the blurry "l" and "i" and "f"s. For christmas this year I wish for a better readable font!
AI to the rescue! Certainly, this is message #1 
Maybe they still have to work on the alignment a bit...anyway: you have to visit both the station and the listening post, buy the commodities and then deliver them to each location given in the ciphered messages. Silly me went straight to the listening post only and then went 183ly to and back.
EDIT: Ok, got them all. This tool was a way better help than hallucinating ChatGPT.

I havent even gotten as far as trying to decipher the messages. I was trying to get into the spirit by putting up the Christmas bobbleheads on the ship and changing my Cmdr's suit from Reaver into the Christmas jumpers.
But none of them work. I can apply all the other changes such as the snowman head, just not any of the festive jumpers.
I'm disappointed, I'll look silly with the snowman head without the festive jumper.
Bah humbug!

From the original Angel Station? Yes, I completed the first delivery. Working on the second one.
You are a life (eye) saver. The first one took me 20 minutes of squinting at the screen just to read the characters...
Now I can focus on the messages.
Of course, the imagetotext is not perfect, so there is still some work to do decoding the text

just a suggestion FDev: if we'd had the messages in the game logs we wouldn't have to type them off the screen ;p
As I understood the instructions in the introductory message, you just have to sell one of the special items at the correct station. That worked for me at the first location, a message arrived immediately confirming the delivery. Maybe it's one of these things where some people have to relog to get the message?
So I still have 11 and I'm heading to the next location.
I don't know whether the locations have to be visited in the right order?
All worked fine for me - some nice puzzles and no relogs. Nice work fdev
Completed all six and in random order, after that, you get a completion message. Still wonder what he meant by 'extra extravagance' or possibly I'm too rich to notice anymore

O7,
It is apparently not a space port but one on a planet.
It was fun completing those.
I've never made a spoiler before, have I done it right?
After loading up with 12 of the items I have 6 left. Could more deliveries be needed in the near future?
Van de Hulst was the tricky one - there are lots of bases called by that name. The correct one is shown in this thread.

There is one more word in the message that narrows it down to exactly one.
