  1. I think a booty box collector would be great for a pet,espcially during the LF4 events,and other special box events,a pet could collect booty boxes,as the pilots fight NPCs,as long as the pilot has keys,the pet could collect boxes for him/her.A pilot could collect a lot more boxes quicker with one,it would boost key sales,and the gear itself could be sold in the pet gear section
     
  2. Heres my opinion on that:

    What if there is a P.E.T Gear that collect booty boxes?
    #1: it will increase collection of booty boxes, while you are collecting a booty box that needs 5 seconds to be unlocked, your pet is already on the go unlocking another booty box for you
    #2: it will collect booty boxes while you are fighting and you are in a critical condition (low hp, pvp, etc.) and you dont have time to be idle and be a sitting duck for 5 seconds.
    #3: People will buy it depending on the player's playstyle if he/she's the type of buying booty keys at shop when on sale or doing lots of zetas even at normal days, base on the price at shop of this gear and if its affected by salvage protocl ( if it is, it will be a hit, more ammo, jump credits, and repair credits, and other resources except for rare items such as LF-4s, LF-3s, SG3N-B02 and G3N-7900)

    Why there shouldn't be a P.E.T Gear that collects booty boxes?
    #1: its a waste of uridium, you can collect the booty box on your own while cloaked to stay out of danger, duh!
    #2: not worth to waste fuel at if you are flying all over the map and others are collecting booty boxes, you found a booty box after few minutes to where your fuel consumption was around a hundred, thats still a great lost for a conservative player
    #3: Why create a separate gear if you can add that function to your auto looter gear?
     
  3. Issue I see with it is would you be selecting what color to be collecting as the PET is color blind and would be stuck trying to collect a BC you do not have a key for. Though some might like the idea I do not think it would go over very well as we try to control where our expenditures are when spending our uridium.

    Personally,I don't buy many keys,and can use them myself,but some players will buy several hundred at a time,espcially on LF4 events and such,and something like this would go over with them.As far as the color thing,a pet would just ignore a box it doesn't have a key of that color,or if a pilot has different color keys,it could pick up what ever colored keys they have,red green,blue or Masque purple.would be a good seller for DO,espcially among the wallet warriors,and promote key sales as well,more players would consider the more boxes picked up,the better chance of finding something good
     
  5. The P.E.T. is not a good multi-tasker :(...it is either/or o_O
