READ FIRST BEFORE FLAMING :P Gold Box Supply Activate the supply to summon a gold box drop from the sky (similar to regular gold boxes - 30 seconds before drop). Message will display: "(username) has activated a Gold Box drop!" Price: 1200 crystals Cooldown: 600 seconds (10 mins) Silver Box Supply Activate the supply to summon a silver box drop from the sky. Message will display: "(username) has activated a Silver Box drop!" (worth 300 crystals) Price: 400 crystals Cooldown: 300 seconds (5 mins) FAQ's: 1. Why would people use it in the first place if it costs more to use activate the box? Ans: It's always fun to see people scramble for boxes. I guarantee you there will be people buying the box. Additionally, catching a box from many players requires some skill, which players like to demonstrate. Some people have excess crystals in their garage, while other players buy crystals, so summoning a drop during a boring day might not be a bad idea after all. 2. Won't too many gold boxes be dropping from the sky? Ans: Well the long cooldown addresses the problem. If everybody uses it at the same time that's everybody's problem, but it makes the game more fun anyways. 3. Why will Tanki developers even think about this? Ans: It will potentially increase game revenue for them, as this will encourage buying of crystals for those that want to supply gold boxes. 4. Will this not be a source where crystals can be transferred from one account to another? Ans: Well it's a possible medium, but it's extremely slow. Firstly you're losing at least 20% of the crystals if you do it this way. Secondly the long cooldown makes this extremely unfeasible. You'd rather be working at Mcdonalds and buying crytals after that.

Picture 1: Darren had roamed the green pastures for ages. He was familiar with each and every piece of grass; he rolled over them so much, they reeked of his oil. He enjoyed breathing in clean oxygen from the trees. But he soon became bored. He wanted something new; something exciting. “The grass is always greener on the other side”, they said. And so, one day, he tried it. His gaze was fixated on the beautiful green fields across. He mustered his courage, and he took the leap… The grass will always remember you. And the trees too. RIP Darren. (98 words)

Mystery Box Box has an equal chance to contain one of the following: - Invulnerability (provides 100% damage protection for 8 seconds. Player hull starts shining during this duration. Protects against poison and explosive bomb (read below)) - Bubble shield (a temporal shield that provides 100% damage protection for 30 seconds. However the shield has 200 HP and will be destroyed after that. Shield changes colour - green at 150-200, orange at 50-150, red below 50 HP) - Invisibility (makes the player invisible to enemy detection for 20 seconds. NOTE: The player can still be damaged and destroyed, for example by Thunder, Firebird etc. The player just cannot be seen by others for the duration) - Heavyweight (player doubles in size for 30 seconds. Hull weight is temporary doubled during this duration, and speed is reduced by 30%. Any tank the player rams into will get damaged, with an increased chance to flip. Damage depends on the weight of the player hull) - Poison (player takes 5% HP damage per second for 30 seconds. The poison effect cannot be removed. Obviously the player will die in 20 seconds from full HP if he or she does not use a repair kit or get healed by Isida) - Explosive Bomb (player picks up a timed bomb. The bomb is set to explode after 10 seconds and cannot be de-activated. There is an explosive radius around the bomb that destroys all tanks nearby (even teammates)) - Mini Gold Box (100 crystals) I know the duration seems very different for many of the different effects, but they are clearly planned. For example invulnerability will be too overpowered if it is 30 seconds. Bubble shield is same as invulnerability but the shield can be destroyed, therefore it must last longer than invulnerability (makes sense right). The following can be considered as well: -> Mystery boxes available in the garage for 50 crystals each. Has the exact same effect as picking up a random mystery box (including negative effects such as poison / explosive bomb) -> The next mystery box in the same location will not provide the same effect as the previous mystery box in that location. Yes, I know, a little harder to program >.< But creates more variability! I also had the wild idea of having the ability to drop supply boxes in the map. Simply hold shift + 1/2/3/4/5 to drop the desired supply. It will be used from your inventory but you will not have the effect. Instead, the box will be dropped on your current location. (The box remains unpickable for 2 seconds, so you can move away from it). This can be useful if you want to drug your teammates. However, the duration will be 30 seconds instead of 45 if it is picked up by other players. You can choose to pick it up again, in that case it is automatically activated on yourself and lasts the full 45 seconds. Feel free to add some suggestions or provide some alternatives! Thanks.
