Be your own Santa

Post by Chrisfs »

Here's an OXP idea. Santa's sled is undergoing upgrades and they need someone to deliver presents throughout the Galaxy. Christmas has been extended to a week (maybe it's Chanaukah?)
a UPS style mission, Start at one planet with 'presents' and have to deliver them to a series of other planets before a deadline, so kids get their Christmas toys.

Maybe Santa should give a present to commanders? And if the commander didn't behave it should contain a bunch of trumbles? ;)

potential for an expanded oxp perhaps : if you misjump and end up in Witchspace perhaps you could have a pie loaded in a missile slot, fire it out and the Thargoids go after that instead.

The beta is out - doesn't interest Thargoids yet, sorry, though that's a potential future enhancement I suppose (not necessarily that useful given how seasonal mince pies are :wink: )

Merry Christmas to all Commanders! :)
