    Hello all!
    Exciting news, from mocklaceoville. I was cubing today in an effort to grind out a booty box or two before the boxes disappeared, with only 20 or so minutes left. I finished a cube off and ran around looking for a box. I found one.. and you can see the result for yourself! I only had 3 parts for the Zeus, and I received a full Zeus drone! What are the odds of this happening?

    Firstly congrats, you have effectively dropped the booty box equivalent of the holy grail. To say that it is rare is an understatement. I have heard of the Zeus being dropped complete but have never seen proof. Congrats again :)

    The odds are ridiculously small but it goes to show that they are out there :)

    Regards

    I got a whole back in July or August, within five minutes of the start of the event. This just shows it can happen at any time. Congrats! What map was that in? I have backgrounds off so I don't recognize it.

    Really? I didn't think that the chance was so small! Most of the people I told about in chat told me it was about a 5% chance.

    Really? That's awesome! I got mine in 3-6, about 20 minutes before the event ended. ^_^

    Heh, yeah. I was going to buy the Zeus this Sunday with that uri, but now instead of that I can get an Aegis and a bunch of gates. ^_^

    Congratulations :)
    I've picked up a full one on GA5 and GB1, I think the odds are around the same as picking up a skill design - from personal experience -, so about 0.07%.

    Just make sure you don't let it pop now ^^

    0.07%? Holy crap, that's a really tiny number! xD

    i dont know if u consider me lucky but when the pais drone came out
    i used to be playing in Global europe 1
    and i opened 25 booty boxes as they were new and i was curious to buy them :)
    somrhow i got straight 5 out of 45 "blue print" from just 1 booty box
    even i still go to my GE1 acc i see 5 blur prints
    i guess its all about luck but all in all booty boxes are not good only good when u get for free and also when there is a double chance like lf4 days etc...
