Oh, and I think that some boxes should contain keys... Like when you win your dolor back on a scratch and win lottery ticket.

I got one hacked encryption box key (I think that's what it was) with a yellow'ish icon with brighter spots of yellow or orange on it I don't remember and I got that within the first 3 matches I played on update day.
I have no clue what it does though or where I got it from ? |

Keep earning and using those free keys, and you will see that there are great drops in there, and at least ine ultra rare item that is not in EOM salvage. Kinda funny how you blatantly copy pasted the COD supply drops and added a twist to them. Sad that you went with the addiction method of constant "little potential rewards".
The idea of lockboxes/items that drop from battle and need to be unlocked/decoded/ect. is not a new concept in general. Diablo, Destiny, Phantasy Star Online, Torchlight, ect. ect. It's a common idea, all "copy pasted with a twist" from each other.

who is making all of these money grabbing decisions?
who in their right mind at CCP put making money through microtransactions before improving the game? adding things to buy does NOT make a game any better!!!

It's a nice thing, honestly, but I'm now past 40 boxes across my characters versus 3 keys.

Maybe if there is another way to open de boxes... could be more fun. Same Minigame in EVE - Hacking Reliques, search the right path but if you fail.. bloom... box destroyed... and if you really want the content... pay the key.

Crazy idea: What if CCP actually gave you a key for every battle that you are victorious in?
Picked up 5 strongboxes as salvage in my second battle today and nothing else. That was actually the first time I've received them as salvage, and picked up another two or three battles afterwards. Still waiting on the first key...

Give me boosters and/or SP dumps (as in, you unlock the box and immediately gain 20k sp) and I will consider purchasing AUR or grinding out matches to obtain them. Gear, even the good stuff, is not relevant to me. I build my fits for sustainability. No point in making an uber suit if I can only use when the RNG Gods align correctly for me thrice over.

Im gonna make some wild guesses here.
1. Strongboxes are for selling AUR. (not much guessing on that one) 2. Daily missions are meant to reward people who actually play as oppose to AFK. 3. Daily missions are an excellent way to train new players in the game a little bit.
Assuming these are correct guesses on some of the intended goals would it not be better to drop the "random" salvage aspect and either base it on a ratio or participation (matches / wins /kills / warpoints) or just drop it from the idea of salvage completely and improve that system while giving out more keys in missions and maybe even as a daily login bonus.
FEEDBACK
Aside from the key drops we are discussing here I really enjoy the overall system. Missions give you something to think about in matches aside from the repetitive nature of run, shoot, and hack. They are a nice distraction and I am sure they will help with NPE quite a bit.
All these are correct and describe the intent fully. The mainstay was to increase new player retention, and provide goals for intermediate players. Veteran players can acquire rare weapons and gear. We plan to add to this lifetime merits or achievements, hopefully we can implement a lifetime stats with goodies like "heavies killed", vehicles destroyed etc

Over the past 3 days of playing for a total of maybe 15 or 20 hours, I have received 1 Key.
Out of the 3 days for a chance of 30 missions, I have yet to receive a mission to earn a Key.
At this point, I've pretty much given up on receiving anymore Officer loot.

Like if you think CCP should add a large salvage number of keys (5-10) for winning a PC, and/or increase Pub/FW salvage rates. PC? You mean that one game mode only available to around 10% of the playerbase? Yeeeaaahhhh, no. I agree with the pub increase and disagree with the FW salvage, I'll get to why at another time. Possibly during the next title update or whatever they're called. Its available to whoever wants to do it. You just have to seek out the chance to play in one.

I dunno about Veteran players acquiring rare weapons and gear. Most of the stuff is just Aurum trash that I wind up selling to the Market Agent because it's just too much of a pain in the butt to restock in the heat of the battle. Keys get kind of expensive when compared with just how many salvage boxes we get and the chances of getting Officer stuff just isn't worth the gamble.
My suggestions:
- Switch out the aurum stuff for ISK variants - Reduce frequency of salvage boxes - Alternatively, reduce price of keys
Sorry, but I think this is mostly another feature that appeals to players with lots of liquid finances to throw around. For the rest of the community, it's just more asset bloat that will continue to pile up until changes are made.
