Hello Miners,

Those of you who are fresh back from the Magma Core might not notice, but summer is here, and it brought the heat. It also means the annual Space Beach Party is just around the corner! So we’re here to take a quick peek at what’s coming.

This year’s event starts on Thursday, August 6th at 13.00 CEST and runs for two weeks.

Because one can never have too many inflatables

Why get extra vacation days for your hard work when you can get hats, you ask? We hear you. That’s why you can get your hands on the new Tactical Turtle hat by completing the assignment associated with this year's Space Beach Party from the Mission Terminal. Nicknamed Shelly the Shellmet, we’re sure this sturdy companion will help protect you from Glyphid bites.

Season event and Double XP

While DRG manages to pull off year-after-year performance improvements, the same cannot be said about certain other companies. In a show of unfounded trust, DRG has once again tasked Longbeard Freight with providing you with some well-deserved pool floaties. Unfortunately, the unthinkable has happened. They fumbled the load.

Somehow, the trajectory of this year’s delivery of pool floaties missed the docking entrance and bounced onwards towards Hoxxes. If you want your floaties, you’ll have to go get them yourselves. Longbeard Freight blames the recently-attached Resinite Mass containers blocking the entrance to the Space Rig’s loading dock. DRG blames Longbeard Freight for inebriated pilots. Both parties signed an agreement, agreeing to disagree on the matter.

Locate the lost pool floaties and make sure to deposit them while down there. As a sign of gratitude, Management will reward you and your team with a Double Performance Pass Point Bonus.

Hats have no expiration date

For those of you too busy mining Morkite to fly more kites during our previous years’ celebrations, fret not. Management applauds your focus and drive as long as it remains profitable. Complete one work assignment, and you will be rewarded with all the previous Beach Party hats for your collection.

Bringing the vibes so that you don’t have to

No party without decorations. Directly imported from Sandblasted Corridors, Management is thrilled to showcase a cost-friendly alternative to sunny beaches on the Space Rig. Colorful lanterns, fake palms, and beach inflatables have been dusted off and can once again be found in the Space Rig, all there to give you a nice feeling of vacation while being at work.

That about wraps it up.

See you all on August 6th at 13:00 CEST for the 2026 Space Beach Party!
