First Airdrop

[Lincoln]

So I was the first person to get to the first airdrop and the first one consisted of:

I only managed to get one weapon before the entirety of server 1 arrived, but hey ho, post other crates when you find them! Curious to see what new stuff we get.

[Rath]

I made a suggestion for airdrops BUT that sounds exciting if true, I will be sad to blow up though :O haha

 

[Rath]

you'll have to find out

 

[Ivy]

The zone is too small needs to be extended to around 500m to 1km

 

[Ciaran]

First special gun has been claimed

 

[Reformed PLAYER]

What do they look like and is the spawns completely random and can there only be one per 30 min ?

The mission system will fire off an event every 30 minutes, be it an Art Gallery event or Airdrop event - the mission system is extremely extensible and we plan on making a large volume of these new events to add a bit of 'spice' to long term players sessions in the game. The crate looks exactly like your house crate would, yet it is attached to a parachute.

The Airdrop idea itself I couldn't take the credit for, every BR type game mode has the same concept (but not code, mind you) out there, yet the overall mission system that runs these events was written by @Rath, the Airdrop module by me, and the Art Gallery module by @Rath, it's a joint effort , yet the *gulp* framework *gulp* is everything compared to the 26 lines of code that runs the drop, and for that @Rath deserves the credit for.
