Free ARX

Over the next 12 days (until the 25th December 2021), you'll receive free ARX just for logging in to the game!

Golden & Chromed Paintjobs

We'll also be releasing Golden and Chromed paintjobs on the Store, with new ships becoming available each day! There will be new paintjobs up until the 25th December, and those paintjobs will remain on the store for purchase until the 10th January 2022! Let's take a look at a couple of examples of today's paintjobs:

Can we get a countdown to the release of a patch today for all the insane bugs please instead?

Zac just tell me there is a space helmet with a glowing red nose and antlers coming to the store....pretty please

 

[dj_wylie]

Awesome, was waiting for this.

Any news on a potential Odyssey sale over the xmas period? I know a couple of commanders that may be on the look out for this now to make the jump from Horizons

No news from me! Doesn't mean it won't happen, I'm just not in the know.

All hail to the Festive Kale!!!

 

[Hedganian]

Assuming the free ARX follow the same pattern as last year, if you get them all it'll be about 3300.

Will that be enough for even one of the new gold paintjobs?

 

[Speedcuffs]

All hail to the Festive Kale!!!

Steady on!
