Greetings Commanders!

It's the time of giving and merriment wherever we can manage it and this year not only brings some festive favourites in the annual Festive Countdown, but also in the form of more unique gifts for this year too!

FESTIVE PAINT JOB PRIZE BUNDLE!​

As mentioned in this week's holiday themed 'Discovery Scanner', live on this week's 'Festive Livestream' and throughout the remainder of the month of December, Commanders will have the chance to win this unique 'Snowfall Icicle' paint job prize bundle, for engaging in seasonal challenges and activities shared across social channels, Twitter and Facebook and RIGHT HERE in the Elite Dangerous Official Forum.

Remember how we had some spooky challenges and creative fun over the course of Halloween?

Well, it'll be something like that. We loved seeing your engagement with those posts, so it only feels right to get everyone back involved in some fun here, together again, as we head toward the end of this Galaxy's year.



Just to recap incase anyone misses this moving forward, outside of mention in Discovery Scanner:

FESTIVE COUNTDOWN!​
