It’s the jolly time of the year again where we celebrate together and we are excited to announce that we want to share some festivities with you, our amazing community. We’ve got so many things planned, and we’d love for you to join us for the ride.
Frontier’s 24 Hour Holiday Livestream
On December 19, 2016 (midday GMT), both Community Managers Ed Lewis and Bo de Vries will start TWO CONCURRENT 24 hour livestreams – Bo will bring Planet Coaster fun and Ed will be in charge of Elite Dangerous. The dynamic duo will be joined developers and community members, and will be hosting 24 hours of hilarious holiday content, ending on December 20, 2016 at midday. The entire event is in honour of SpecialEffect, a wonderful charity who help disabled people use technology (and play videogames!), and we will be raising money throughout the next weeks as well as the livestreams.
Charity Sweepstake
For every £1 you donate to the Just Giving campaign, you get one entry into a prize draw. At the end of the 24 hour livestreams we will pick the winners together on screen, so make sure to donate and enter your email address (the optional field at donation, not as a comment) for a chance to win the following amazing prizes:
Also, for every £6/€7/$7.5 or more in a single donation, you’re be eligible for a unique SpecialEffect Sidewinder paint job AND decal in Elite Dangerous!
(Terms and conditions apply, see the bottom of this post for details!)
Charity Auction
In addition to the fantastic prizes above, we’ve also got our annual charity auction where you can bid on a host of cool items in the hopes of winning that prize. These bids are private, so you have to bid what you would be willing to pay per item. The winners will then be contacted and asked to donate that much into the Just Giving page for SpecialEffect.
Here’s how it works: take a look at the auction prizes below, categorised into Planet Coaster and Elite Dangerous specific. Once you see one or more items that you would like to bid on, simply email the name of the item(s) and the amount per item to community@frontier.co.uk with the subject line “Blind Charity Auction”. This bidding will end on December 9, 2016 at 9AM GMT and winners will be contacted immediately.

Here’s what’s up for auction!
Planet Coaster
Dine with the Developers – Planet Coaster: Dine with the developers of Planet Coaster. We’re hosting an evening meal with five of Planet Coaster’s best known developers who will be joining you. The date of the event is planned for Friday January 27, 2017 from 7PM GMT – 10PM GMT and we are looking for FIVE lucky bidders to come and join us! All the food and drink will be on us but you’ll need to make your way to a location in central Cambridge; all travel and other expenses for the event will be paid for by the winning bidders.
Signed Scenery: Some of you will remember Marc Cox from the Planet Coaster livestream. Now we all know that scenery is important in Planet Coaster but Marc takes this to a new level, covering his entire desk in home-made scenery. We’re giving away a special piece of scenery from his collection signed by the development team. It really is the blocks that helped build Planet Coaster.
This artwork will be signed by the Planet Coaster team.
Custom Hand-Drawn Planet Coaster Calligraphy: You might not know but our much loved Community Manager and Streamer extraordinaire, Bo de Vries, is also incredibly talented in calligraphy! She’s creating three custom Planet Coaster frames with hand-drawn calligraphy on it for you to enjoy! By bidding on this item you are bidding on one of these delightful frames; there will be three frames to be won (black, white, or brown frame).
Bid per frame or bid for all three.
Planet Coaster Cushion set: At the Planet Coaster launch event we had so many comments of people who wanted the Planet Coaster cushions on the set. So we’ve made a beautiful bespoke set of three cushions which will be available to bid on as one set. Please note you are bidding on one set of three Planet Coaster cushions.
Artwork on cushions might differ.
Signed Artwork from the Launch event: Another launch event special is a set of two Planet Coaster wall arts, signed by the team. There are some minor scratches to the set so buyers take note. These make a beautiful decoration for anyone who appreciates stunning art work and Planet Coaster!
