Blizzard
Limited Ship
This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.
The Blizzard is a hull-shredding Carrier given to players on completion of the Ice Monster's Quest from the Christmas Event 2017.
Description
The Blizzard was a part of the Christmas Event 2017. It was the first and only Carrier to have only Dragonflies for its Fighters until they were replaced with its own custom fighters in a later version. The ship was obtained as a reward after completing The Ice Monster's Quest, which has since been removed. Once you lose this ship it is gone, FOREVER! (Unless you lost it to a bug, glitch, or dock-blocking).
Appearance
Contains a rectangle-like seat that looks out into the front of the ship.
Advantages
- Obliterates hull with its 8 Medium Flak Cannons.
- Fast Fighters, useful for distracting Starbase Turrets.
- Has no blind spots.
- Can compete with small ships due to lack of blind spots and Flak Cannons.
- Can stay in maximum turret range with its Heavy Laser.
- Extremely high speed for a Carrier, surpassing almost all other carriers and Dreadnoughts.
Disadvantages
- Bad positioning means not all Turrets can target at once.
- Fighters lack strength in health and firepower.
- Lackluster damage at long range.
- Lacks in Shield damage.
- No Spinals.
- Limited event ships are often targeted by Pirates and are often seen as a prize kill.
Strategy
- Warp in, release Fighters, warp out, and wait until the base is hulled to finish the job.
- Make sure you have a team that will listen to you and pilot the fighters.
- If your target is hulled, your Medium Flak Cannons can rapidly finish them off.
Version History

- Received a remodel in .61e.

- Currently, the Blizzard is worth more credits than the Reaper.
- The second event Carrier, the first being the Ghoul Nyx.
- This ship cannot be sold, but it's value is about 527k.
- Funny enough, back in the days when this was available, the ship was deemed weak and so it was sold by a lot of the people who got it back then, for about 40k.
- The remodeled version has an orb at the front of the ship, similar to the Vansnova, Reaper, and the Grim.
- The original Blizzard model was meant to be a Revelation remodel made by ARiNA.
