  1. The faq for standard booty boxes is lacking and outdated. Please update if at all possible

    If someone can post or link to a up to date drop rate list I would appreciate it.
     
  2. I assume this http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/booty-chest-faq.799/ is the FAQ you are referring to and as it stands it seems to cover the issue of Green Booty in that the contents are of equal or greater Uri value against its purchase cost...
    but with a short hunt I have found ...
    The Gold Booty http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/zeus-drone-faq.853/ and this is Green effectively as a Green key opens it but includes Zues and Apis Components more frequently
    Red, Blue are a variation on Green but require their own individual key and have higher drop rate of certain desirable items, Im sure someone can give more specific detail but I dont have time atm sorry
    and Masque Booty keys http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/m-a-s-q-u-e-spacetech-summit-faq.113976/
    and now the
    newest addition of Black Booty http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/obsidian-booty-boxes-faq.116850/ has its own thread as the contents may be changed according to the current Event running and will be updated accordingly... This one has the droprate included

    Hope this helps

    EDIT
    I found http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/b...r-rebalanced-blue-and-red-booty-boxes.108161/
    but as pointed out in the Thread doesnt actually say anything official about the Booty

  3. The issue is these are all RANDOM and do not have a specified collection rate. The goodies are assigned when spawned and do not mean that every map will have the desired item in it. This is why one player can say they have collected so many of one item while others have not seen any of them, IF you were the only player in the map collecting them then you might be able to get the items but then when does anyone get to be the only player in the map or be able to collect every box in all of the maps? At one point I know the LF-4 was supposed to be on a drop rate of .03% or 3 in 10000 boxes and on special days would be doubled tripled or quadrupled meaning 6, 9, or 12 in 10000 boxes. Also the Zeus blueprints seem to be linked to the Apis so if you build the Apis before having collected enough Zeus parts you end up getting enough parts to build a second Apis before you get enough to build the Zeus.
