    Airdrop
    Killing players gives you an airdrop.

    How the kit works:
    Every time you kill an opponent, you are gifted an "Airdrop Signal" which is a firework, when you right click the firework it will launch into the sky and give you a countdown from 10, dropping a chest with random loot!

    (similar to stuff seen in SG)

    Pros
    - Killing lots of players can reward you with good loot!

    Cons
    - No PVP Advantages
    - Might get bad items


    Pretty simple, fresh idea.

    - Ryth.

    I think there should be a 50% chance of the plane "seeing" the flare, (getting the drop)

    A 50% chance could become quite annoying though, considering the average player gets only 5-10 kills a game, if you think about it, 50% could mean 1-2 airdrops a game which would be kind of annoying.

    keeps away from spamming free loot maybe 50%-75% but not a full 100

    Hm I see where you're coming from.
    Anyone else got any opinions on the chance thing that @Munga suggested?

    Can be really anything from food, to gear, to blocks, etc.
    It would be similar to the ones in SG, which give decent loot.

    I don't think the table should be something you can get in an airdrop, however I wouldn't mind seeing lapis for enchanting at the feast. Should we perhaps formulate a list of items that would be balanced?

    You'd probably need to specify what kinds of items you can get in the chests, otherwise it might be a bit too powerful early game if you could get iron/gold armor. If it was stuff like food/blocks/bows maybe then that would be really cool.

    Definetly keep it at a 100% rate. Kills can be harder to come by in Soup and I'm guessing this loot wouldn't be to OP anyways.

    I'd like to see it give useful items like bows, snowballs,buckets, fishing rods,shrooms ,Golden apples rather than Iron armor/Ingots

    I'd definitely agree with implementing things such as bows, food and building blocks in these little airdrops. They'd be more essential drops rather than power drops.

    I'd personally keep it at 100% too, but not everyone seems to agree. I agree with most of the loot ideas you suggested swell!

    That's what thor is for. :stuck_out_tongue:

    A chest that only you can open otherwise the kit is pretty useless.

    I actually had a similar idea with the exact same name(lol) on MCPVP. I really the simplicity of this kit.. I have noticed a lot lately in HG that simple kits most of the time do very well in popularity.

    Quick concern: What happens if you don't take all the items from your airdrop? Can other players take some items? Maybe you could make it like the maze runner kits, where after all the items are gone the chest disappears. This could prevent spammy chests everywhere..

    Yeah, I like the idea of having the chest disappear after all the items are gone like in old Maze, that always seemed to work reasonably well. People should also be able to steal loot, think of it similar to a care package in an FPS game.

    I don't think TNT run was apart of the kit? xD

    Does anybody else have any opinions?
